Are you aware of any software that can help organize my patients' information?

Question

I'm a psychologist, and I'm willing to organize the information from my patients (scores on test, interviews, clinical records) on a database. Is there a program that could help me with that? (Is it expensive??) Thanx!!

I'm aware I can use something like excel or word, but I would like something specially designed to be a database, like some sort of library software... So I can have one menu per patient with all the information abut him available

Answer 1

MS Access is the program you're looking. Check out if there is any available template you could slightly modify and use it as it is, otherwise you'll need to create your own database the way it suits you. You need to know a bit about databases for that though.

Answer 2

The software you need is database management software from which you can organize and save all your records, there are a lot of software which you can use even you're a new user on those software, MS Access,Oracle are those two and many other software record management you can use, by using a microsoft acces you can do wizard as a new in these program,but first you need a through analysis so that you will include all the necessary record in your own program, i know you're new here, but i recommend you to ask me if you like to analyze and then make a program if you dont know how to make it. the proce of software you need depends on the data you need inside your own program.

Answer 3

I'm not clear on how much information you want in the file, e.g., would it include confidential notes or just test scores?

If you are just going to track test scores and the like, you could keep them all in one Excel file.

If you want to keep brief notes, you could use Excel, and create a worksheet for each individual patient.

You could create a header with all column headings for information you want to track. For a new patient, you would open a new Excel worksheet and copy the header to it,
or
You could create an excel worksheet with column headings and call it something like "Patient Record - Blank."

When you get a new patient, open the blank worksheet, then click File, Save AS -- then save it to the patient's name.
