Design Theme

When designing the theme for PatientManager, we are going to start with ideas that we know work and have received very good feedback in the past.

If you expect PatientManager to have the typical database grey background or look like an upgraded spreadsheet, well that will not be the case. 

Colours will be bright and changing dependant on module and type of layout. 

This is a screenshot from our current FacilityManager solution.

All corners are rounded, as this has been proven to reduce both eye tiredness and improve alertness and efficiency. Fonts will be contrasted against the background colour to make them easier to read. There will be multiple means of navigation so finding the required layout should at most be only 1 or 2 clicks.

The various modules will be like chapters in a book, with a distinct homepage for each, from where you will be easily able to access the related layouts, perform searches or generate reports.

The concept of the theme will be 'easy on the eye' and easy to use'.

If you are a medical consultant working for an Emergency Trauma Hospital or know of another consultant or hospital who would like to collaborate with us (CompassAFM) on the development of PatientManager, please contact us at info@compasspatientmanager.com

Getting Started

So lets get PatientManager started...

Over the past weeks we have been reviewing what layouts, scripts, concepts etc., that already exist in our other database (FacilityManager) that we could reuse or modify to facilitate a faster build time. In fact we found quite a few. The technical (in the broadest meaning of the word) similarities between maintaining the health of plant and equipment and maintaining the health of a patient do have similarities. For example;

• Checking a patient into the Emergency Department  -> Logging a piece of equipment for repair
• Assigning a consultant to a patient -> Assigning an engineer to carry out the repair
• Booking a bed for a patient -> Booking a parking space for a staff member.

So you can see a trend here.

It is time to start building to see what can be accomplished easily and what will take more time and insight. Over the next few posts we will looking at:

1. Choosing a design theme and building a homepage layout
2. Building a 'Setup' Layout
3. Setting up client modifiable data fields and lists
4. Creating a patient information record.
