Neurolog: A clinical neurological database and reporting system
Developed and used in the Neurology Department of WCH
NEUROLOG is a computerised data storage and report generating application developed
by and for neurophysiologists. It operates in a MICROSOFT WINDOWS environment
using simple mouse button-clicks, menu choices and limited typing to enter data
in a user friendlymanner. You will accumulate a comprehensive and readily accessible
record of patient demographics, test results, billing details and clinicalinformation.
You will have an immediate ability to generate a range of neurophysiological
reports. These can be printed and by usingintermediate soft-ware, electronically
transmitted across computer networks. When used on a local area network you
can share datawith co-workers reducing the need for replication of data recording.
Each person on the network can have their customized view ofthe data with individual
limitations on access to sensitive data.
NEUROLOG is designed using Paradox for Windows. (Follow this link for more information
on programming with Paradox for Windows), a powerful flexible and robust database.
It has features making it workwell on networks and flexible data security rules.
Users can access data either by the extensive range of forms and reports providedwith
NEUROLOG, by designing your own forms and reports, or by using the built in
querying tools and automated presentation modesprovided with Paradox itself.
NEUROLOG comes with forms and reports for EEG and Evoked Potentials reducing
bottle-necks in the out-put of reports. Data input issemi-automated such as
in the recording of dates and doctors addresses and phone numbers and the input
of standardized commentsand impressions. There are also forms and reports for
generating summaries of previous patient results, statistical data on thenumber
of tests performed, accounting details including automated test-fee input and
billing letters, clinical information withcategorisation according to diagnosis
and test results. There is a diary for information on patient attendance and
future bookings.
NEUROLOG is backed by extensive programming to ensure smooth logical operation
with minimal training for maximum productivity. NEUROLOG is used in the Neurology
Department at the Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide, South Australia
and is the result of seven years of development by Mr. Paul Weston BSc Hons.,
the Senior Hospital Scientist in the Department who is available forfuture modifications
and customisation of the Database to meet your future needs.
