Software

The Task

My task is to produce a data handling system for a dental practice system.

This will handle all the details about patients, dentists, and appointments and make them easy to edit, delete or enter the records.

Software

There are specific requirements for my data handling system like generic software this is what I require: database software, word processor and spreadsheet software

The generic software I will choose must have:

  • Enter, edit and delete data easily into the system
  • Can accept numerical data, text data and formulas
  • Have each field connect to each other to make a record
  • Have several types of checking to make sure information entered is correct
  • Store large amounts of past records, data in a log
  • List data in alphabetical order to allow easy access

The software I will be using is the database software package because of several reasons like the search function allowing the staff to find the correct records and not corrupt the other records, also with the database package it will be far easier to handle current data and input new information to the data handling system. It would be able to store a high amount of data and also have a backup. It also allows the member of staff to switch between each table with ease and specifically shows the names of each table to avoid misunderstanding.
