the challenge |
|
The client was looking for a 'value added' solution that would provide nurses and doctors operating in
hospitals and home care settings with a means to balance scheduling of supplies and services in
delivering intimate healthcare to their patients. The manufacturer bundled this solution with their
products targeted for hospitals and home care providers throughout the UK in over 67 hospital
locations.

the solution |
Based on the client's requirements they wanted a solution that could be used with hand held devices
(PDA) as well as a desktop application. Synchronizing patient information between these systems was
one of the key features of this solution. The client wanted their users to also have 'integrated'
applications including GPS navigation, calendar, photographic audit and document capability.
We worked with the client as well as end-users (nurses and secretaries) to deliver the following
solutions:
- Desktop Application
- MiME® as shown, is a standalone Windows application for managing patient data. Note the 'integration' with calendar capability
- Enhancement and maintenance of the current system includes adding new pages, functionality, reports, database issues and performance issues
- Forms and reports are developed in .Net 2005 environment with an SQL2005 database
- Access to external data from other applications made possible through webservice in MiME® system
- PDA Application
- Synchronized with the desktop application and allows the nurses to provide patient care within the hospital or at the patient's home
- Integrated with Global Positioning System (Tom tom) which provides the hospital staff with directions to the patient's address information
- PDA compatibility to work with different versions of operating systems
- PDA was also integrated with calendar control
