Medmate 1.43 (formerly known as toolkit)

This program can be used on Psion 3a/c. To install put 
medsw.opa           \app directory 
jbsort.img            \app
drug.odb             \opd
patients.odb	      \opd	
medmate.rsc           \opd
Then install from the system screen.


Improvements
1. Simple patient management using the built in database app
2. Quick display of current inpatients by pressing Tab
3. Easy adjustment of infusions.
4. Display of inpatient stats. Number average age and average length of stay
for those managers amongst you.

The program is mainly dialog run so you cannot always access the menu or the
various hotkeys. However to get around this you can press "esc" and this 
will take you back to the main screen.

For details on the various functions read the help file. 

I take no responsibilty or liability for any clinical judgements based on 
the use of this program. Use at your own risk.

User defined infusions

Up to nine infusions can be displayed. This is due to height of the Psion 
screen. I have included fictitious drug infusions to demonstrate the 
facility. Most hospitals have their own infusion policies and I would 
suggest you adapt these for use in this module.

To enter a new infusion you will need to open up the drugs.odb by pressing 
Psion-Y.


Once open you will be presented with the database format to add, delete or 
edit.

Fields
Drug:   Enter drug name

Amount:  Enter the amount in mg that will be added to the standard infusion bag 

Solvol:  Enter the volume of solute that will be in the standard solution.

Solute: Enter the name of the solute eg 5% dextrose

Lowval: Enter the lowest infusion rate in mcg/kg/min or mcg/min

Highval: Enter the highest infusion rate

Recval: Enter the recommended starting infusion rate

Type:  	Enter  "n" if the infusion is the type to be worked out in 
	mcg/kg/min
	Enter  "w"if the infusion  is the type that is infused in mcg/min. 
	Weight not included in the calculation. Text can be added for 
	additional information.
	Enter "" if you just want text to tell you how to run the infusion. You only need to enter the 	text field in this mode.

Text: Enter any text you wished to be displayed (255 character limit).

Once you have entered the fields close down drugs.odb and then continue to 
use medmate.
