The author /developer may revise the program from time to time. The diskette comes with the program and this set of instructions. The program runs on a MAC+™ & up. An internal sorting routine in the program makes allowance for 5000 files. There are program provisions for handling two independent and mutually exclusive file lists each with 5000 records. You may not have disk room for 10000 files. It depends on your storage medium. The arrays and string-set-aside space set up by certain program steps take up approximately 50K of RAM.
NOTE
1) Medical Tracker program uses the Imagewriter® driver(s) or laser writers or equivalents for printouts.
All printouts to paper are formatted for 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.
You may interrupt printing by pressing command “.” unless you are using a print spooler.
2) When screen listing if you place the cursor in the menu bar and hold down the mouse you can stop the list scrolling until you release the mouse.
FIRST THINGS YOU SHOULD DO TO ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH Medical Tracker
1) Look over the instructions.
2) Transfer “Medical Tracker”, “Medrcrd1” & “Medrcrd2” to your disk. Keep the data files in the same folder and at the same level with the program. Data files have a slightly different Icon and the data files have the word "DATA" as part of the Icon, whereas Medical Tracker has "PROG" as part of its Icon.
Menus items are as follows:
“Open Record” is your selection for entering data. Before you can list, search, edit, etc your data you must of course have entered some data through this routine.
“Edit Record” provides a means whereby the user may call up, by record number, a particular record for the editing of any entry entered by the "Open Record" selection.
“List Records” permits the listing of records. Here again you can list either to the screen or to paper, either with full data or just name & address type data.
“Purge & Alphabetize Records” is the process whereby the files are alphabetized upon your selection. If you want to purge files, place a “ZZZZ” in place of the last name and the routine will delete those files from your list and rearrange all other alphabetically.
“Search Records” provides for thumbing through your entered records and selecting from among them those which meet your preselected criteria. You may select up to 12 different criteria simultaneously. If Assignments is selected as one of the search criteria, you are asked for how many you want to use for that particular search. You can select from 0 to 28, depending on how many you want to use and on how many you have defined for that list under the “Setup File Status” menu selection. After the search you can list the results to screen or paper, or you can prepare labels from the results.
NOTE ABOUT string searches: When conducting a search by a string of alphanumeric characters (A, a, B, b,..., Z, z, 1, 2,..., 0) it is only necessary to give the program a sufficient amount of the characters to exclusively identify the Last Name, First Name, Street Address, Supplemental Address info, City/State, Zip, Phone, Date, or Remarks for which you wish to search. E.G.; you may decide to use the 40 bytes available in the remarks entries for more than one type of information such as last date of correspondence, a subjective comment or two, and whether or not that entry is active or inactive. A remarks entry may look like this: 10/18/1985 Volunteer ACTIVE XFRD FROM MI. If you were to do a search in which you are looking for a ready volunteer you may select REMARKS as one of your screening criteria and type in as a keyword volunteer or vol, or volun, etc. and the program would pick out all persons that meet this and your other selected criteria, if any, provided volunteer is entered anywhere in the remarks entry. Another example would be if you decided to search for all persons called upon since 1980. You could use the keyword 198 under the REMARKS criteria and the program would find all entries that had 1980, 1981,..., 1989 anywhere in the remarks entry. If you wanted to be more specific then you could type in 1985 as your key word and the program would find only those entries with 1985 in the remarks entry. In our example, the program would find our entries with either 198 or 1985 typed in as the keyword under REMARKS criteria for searching.
Transfer Record 1st-2nd or 2nd to 1st"
“# Records” resets a number within a file that tracks the number of the latest record you have entered by the "OPEN NEW RCRD" selection described below. For instance, you may have tailored your initial setup to accommodate 5000 records, and you have entered 40 records thusfar. The number that "#Records" has in file is 40. By resetting this number you can delete, as far as the program is concerned, a number of these records. In the example of 40, if you reset the # Records to 35, then the program would only deal with your 1st 35 records. You probably won't use this selection too frequently.
“Setup File Status” is the selection for labeling the status of your medical records that you want for each independent listing. You may have up to 28 for each list and those defined assignments will apply to that list only.
“Select File Selection Method” permits you to call up records by file number, Patient Name/Provider Name/Date, or Provider Name/Patient Name/Date.
“Initialize Dollar Amounts to Zero” You may not only select the range of files, but which one or all of the files' amounts to set back to zero.
"Desktop" sends you back to the desktop.
