PDS - Patient Data System
This was a program written in OPL for the Psion 3a. It kept track of basic patient details (such as demographic details, pending investigations and drug history) which could be entered during a ward round. It connected to a standard PC to print out patient lists for ward rounds. It was intended to interface with a desktop package called METABASE which in turn linked to the Patient Administration System (PAS) in order to produce automatic GP discharge letters. ©GMS 1995

PsyX
The response to an audit on the (non) availability of notes in a Psychiatric Hospital. PsyX was written in WordBasic (for Word 6 for Windows) and aimed to encompass a patient database as well as an efficient storage system for letters, reports and discharge summaries typed by the secretaries. This was to enable information to be available 24 hours per day when medical notes go missing or when the patient presents overnight when notes are unavailable. Incomplete. ©GMS 1997
