by Consultants Needed for Medical laboratory SQL database project with Visual
basic front end. Request for response from interested developers and consultants.
The nonprofit Puget Sound * Center is located in Seattle, Washington and
collects approximately 200,000 units of * each year. There are a number
of medical laboratories associated with the * Center that deal with all
aspects of transfusion and transplantation medicine, ranging from coagulation
to immunogenetics to virology. Several thousand tests are performed each
month. We desire to centralize non-transfusion specimen processing and
replace the several individual lab databases currently being used. We
anticipate using an SQL database on Windows NT server(s) with a visual basic
front end for each laboratory and for the specimen processing area.
Incorporation of a bar-coded specimen tracking system is also planned, as well
as reporting functions and links with our billing and transfusion databases.
The possibility of using intranet technology for remote access is being explored.
If you know of developers that have had experience setting up an SQL database
for laboratory data (or analogous systems) and might be interested in working
with Puget Sound * Center, please contact us by return e-mail.
