HEALTH: Visual Basic(TM) 3.0 Pen Healthcare Application
HEALTH contains seven forms for admitting and diagnosing a
patient in a healthcare facility. This program is fairly
large and unoptimized, so load times are significant. Tap
firmly on the buttons for Next Page, Previous Page, and so
on, and then wait as HEALTH loads each form.
> The first form is a Patient Identification form. To
complete this form, enter numbers in the bedit field, tap
the button, then tap the appropriate Gender radio button.
Do not tap the Enable Entry Checking check box in the
lower part of the screen--this option opens a smart form
that won't let you move to the next screen until all
fields are filled out.
> The second form is fairly straightforward. Note that if
you tap the icon, it will reformat and lock that field.
For example, after entering the date, tap the icon next to
it to format the date and lock that field.
> The third form, In Case of Emergency Notify, contains
an hedit field for medical diagnosis. You can write
anything you want in this field, but print neatly. The
application will try to recognize whatever you write.
> The fourth form, Physical, contains diagrams of the
body. You can draw on these diagrams to diagnose or
highlight any problems. This screen takes some time to
load, so tap the Next Page icon quickly. The ink display
rate is good; hold the pen down on the screen for a
second, and then write as quickly as you like. You can tap
the Lock icon once to lock the ink, and a second time to
clear the screen.
> The fifth form, Clinical Assessment, contains multiple
forms that you can fill out to note allergies, hearing and
eyesight limitations, and so on. To view all forms at
once, choose Arrange from the top part of the screen.
However, having many screens on display can intimidate a
new user, so we suggest that you fill out only the first
form. For example:
1. Tap Hearing.
2. Tap Normal Left.
3. Tap Impaired Right.
4. Tap Vision.
5. Tap Impaired.
6. Tap Glasses.
7. Tap Far-sighted.
8. Tap Next Page to move to the next form. Next Page
appears as text (not as a button) in the upper-right
corner of the screen.
> The sixth form is a diagnosis screen. Use the scroll
bars to scroll through the potential diagnoses (some of
them are rather humorous), and select the most appropriate
one. This is the last form, so tap the Exit button
(represented by an open door) at the bottom of the screen
to close the application.
> The seventh form is brought up every time you tap the
open door icon. The menus allow you to save your work,
view the different screens that you have entered, or exit
the application.
You move from form to form using the Next Page or Previous
Page buttons at the bottom of the screen. You can close
the application or skip pages at any point by tapping the
half-open door icon at the bottom of the screen.
HEALTH was built and tested under Microsoft(R) Windows(TM)
version 3.1 and Visual Basic version 3.0. The program
requires PENWIN.DLL, which can be found in both Microsoft
Windows for Pen Computing and the Microsoft Windows
version 3.1 Software Development Kit (SDK).
