Software used in a Doctors Database
There are nowadays many different types of
programs for databases in doctors surgeries. I
would recommend a number of software packages
that would be ideal for use in a surgery. Prices
range from the cheaper databases from about
150-250. I would recommend these to the lower
income countries where simplicity is a necessity.
E.g.. India, Pakistan, African countries. Some
features of these lower cost databases include
large database, comprehensive diagnosis and
treatment information usually associated with
each disorder/condition. Includes neonatal and
extremely rare conditions. An expensive doctors
surgery database would cost from about 500-1000
dollars and would have very comprehensive and
detailed description of all the patients
statistics.

Backup for a Doctors Surgery

• For a doctors surgery I would recommend they use
  one of the following options for backing up there
  databases.
• Uploading it to the internet.
• Saving to a Zip or Jazz drive ( a floppy disk is
  too small)
• Burning a CD-RW.
• Saving to an ejectable hard drive.
• Personally all members in the group recommended
  either uploading to the internet or using a hard
  drive. Both of these are cost effective and
  relatively easy to use.
