NICU Notes: A Palm OS and Windows database software product and process to facilitate patient care in the newborn intensive care unit.
This is a database software application for information a neonatologist routinely considers in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU). Users enter data at the point of care on a handheld device that also encrypts the data. Data management follows synchronization via an ODBC DSN to a secure Microsoft Access application. User feedback guides software modification over time. The poster illustrates the data model, the software user interface, and data management products.
