For this news, we are going to give the limelight to a newcomer to the macbidouille team , Charles, aka Rabbit on our forums, passionate about IT, about all things Mac and an … orthopedic surgeon:)
Before the effect of "gas factory" software professionals at the time, in 1998, Charles decided to embark on the design of a software package. The key words: Open and modularity.therefore File Maker Pro (at the time in 4 or 5) was chosen. Only to be used initially for updates, he thought he could share his knowledge and had in mind to share it amongst colleagues.
Browsing File Maker forum initiated a complete rewrite of the software by unifying its interface and adding a number of features.
OrthoConsult 3 is the culmination of this work.
It allows management of patients, their treatment, their orders, their images, the agenda for consultation, the operating room schedule and the consultations.
Some features: a statistics module with graphics (developed on the basis of FusionCharts for FileMaker), access to medical data banks on the internet, direct access to the edition of Yellow Pages for doctors and physiotherapists, a module for mailing , and so on.
After building a site around the software, a user forum was born. It is for those who need a helping hand, but also for users who have created their own data capture/storage models. They can share them, either free or on the "shareware" model.
Modularity for Charles was a priority, so the interface is customizable by the user, and if he wants to "put his hands in the sludge", he may even change the structure of the database to fit his needs .
For an overview: Here Finally, if you want to know even more: < A HREF = "http://orthoconsult.hometechmedia.com/" TARGET = "_blank"> A
This is obviously highly specialized software, which will only interest a minority of our readers, but since there are still a few doctors on the Mac, we thought that it was worthwhile to talk about it.
