Details of Medic Aid ( Hospital and Clinic Management Software) Introduction IntroductionMedicaid is a database Application made for the explicit purpose of storing patients' and related Hospital data. It is a totally GUI based Front End application made for the MS Windows /NT platform but can also work with some flavors of UNIX (Sun Solaris) as well as Mac. It utilizes an RDBMS in the back-end which has to run simultaneously with the application to store and retrieve the data. The concept and ideology behind it are
In Medic Aid, the data is stored through easy to use, aesthetic forms with the purpose that the user will never need to type any information more than once even if for a totally different reason. All the patient's data needs to fed in only once on his arrival. He /she is provided with an automatically generated Registration Number. Medic Aid will use this number to access and (if not yet made) create different records like Operation Notes, Admission, prescription and Bills etc. This system has been made with close supervision of doctors who have tried to replace their activities through all their record keeping and writing activities through the computer. An attempt has been made to provide a system which emulates a hospital and an individual doctor's paper work through the computer so that it is
Modules available and fully functional
The last is common for all personnel including Doctors, referring doctors, On call specialists, staff and works as the master list to access names like treating physician, consultant on call, staff on duty etc. More modules based on actual user requirements can be added to the database at a very short notice. These include :- Medical Personnel and payroll system, Nursing care details
These are not provided in any specific form by this software but training can be provided to work on applications like MS Word and Excel. Use of Import Export facility by Medic Aid allows intermingling and reuse of available data for the hospital in these general apps. General InformationTotal number of nodes suggested and Operating Hardware required : -depends on number of nodes ideally one for every 8-10 nodes + one backup for every 4 or less. A 1500 bed hospital would require approx. 50 workstations Operating System (Servers) Windows NT or 2000 For Workstations Windows 98 or Me Printers Deskjet or Laser one at least for every place needing a report, + 1 backup for every 8-10 Once the hardware is in place, the software can be installed. Software is available as auto installable CD complete with the database (if Sybase SQL Anywhere is to be used) Once installed master lists will have to be created like names of doctors and staff (address book), charges for procedures, drugs available in the Pharmacy, store locations etc. Once these are entered the full functionality like single keystroke access will be apparent. Different modules for the exact locations have to be implemented on site. Most of the modules have been designed as per specifications given by the client. The core system will be up and running within one month but addition of new modules, debugging of the same, fine tuning and training of regular staff will take around 4 - 6 months. ChargesCharges (of software alone) can be separated as follows Basic cost and implementation cost. The Implementation period of 6 months will include onsite development and maintenance. Additional AMC can be provided separately Rs 35000/- per server Rs 25000/- per work station (If a database license from another company like ORACLE or SQL Server is already with the user, Rs 5000/- per user can be subtracted from these. But time required for implementation time will be longer and we will need co-ordination with the vendor of that license.) Taxes shall be as applicable The implementing staff shall be working onsite for 4 - 6 months One Project Leader @ Rs 1,20,000/- per month. He shall function as overall incharge of the project Three Development Officers @ Rs 80,000/- per month. They shall train the local staff to run the nodes as well as develop new modules, do fine tuning and debugging (Optional) Staff to initially man the workstations @ Rs 40,000/- per month. They can train the local staff to free the above to more important tasks. Using staff trained by us in India can free the above to pure development work. This will result in shortening of their stay. They may continue working there as per the client's wish after the initial training period of 2-3 months is over It is reasonable to assume that Travelling Allowance as well as local accommodation is provided by the clients. First 6 months after the implementation period cost of one Development Officer posted onsite After that (optionally As above OR) 15% of basic cost of software + TA / DA for staff. Will include a visit for a week every 3 months or less on call.
