Introduction

Software should be generic off the shelve packages, easy to program, and easy to use.

All hardware should be chosen according to the availability of services and supplies at local level. Inexpensive PC’s, locally trained operators, and local “maintenance” will be suitable in all levels of use.  

Front End  (GUI Interface and Document Presentation Formats)

  • HTML/Web Standards

  • Microsoft Office (WORD, ACCESS, EXCEL) M

  • Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Microsoft Visual Basic .Net will be the primary means of interfacing with the Information System. Microsoft provides the ability connect to many external formats such as SQL/Server, Oracle, Sybase, or mainframe IBM DB/2. 

 

Operating System For Tiered Organizational Units

Primary Level (1-tier)

    Latest Version of the Windows Operating System (currently Windows 7)

Secondary Level (2-tier)

    Latest Version of the Windows Operating System (currently Windows 7)

Third Level (3-tier)

    MS Internet Information System (Web Server)

Forth Level (4th tier)

    MS SQL and MS SQL Data Warehouse

Servers

    Microsoft systems depending on the application

Configuration

    Client/Server

    Multi tier

Client/Server for local clinics

The system will be infinitely malleable. It is easy to run the client and server portion of an application on the same machine and does some occasional communications with outside servers to exchange data, refresh a database, and send or receive mail and faxes.

Client/server for District and Departments

Well-suited for the LAN-based single server establishments.  It consists of multiple clients talking to a local server. May use the server to interact in a very loosely-coupled way with some enterprise server. For example, data (medical information for the day) may be downloaded once a day to refresh the local server. Or inventory data may be uploaded to an enterprise server. Fax and mail can be sent or received any time through the mail server gateway. These departmental servers will continue to be popular, even in large enterprises, because they provide a tremendous amount of user autonomy and controls. Users feel that it is their server, and they can do anything they please with it.

Client/server for Intergalactic enterprises

It is upwardly scalable. When more processing power is needed for various functions, more servers can be added. We can partition servers based on the function they provide, the resource they control, or the database they own. In addition, we may choose to replicate servers for fault tolerance or to boost an application’s performance.

The system is modular in the sense that it would be able to grow with the size and demands of the health system. The data may be accessed through a network that would include both local and national connectivity. 

 The MS Windows operating system was also chosen because of its ability to be used with the “Asian characters"
