CASE TRACKER

Case Tracker is a must have software for anyone who is serious about computers in homoeopathy. Though we received the lite version of the software, this version has enough features to help and amaze you with its simple but highly effective handling of all patient records. This software will require some 10Mb space on your computer.

This has a very intuitive interface and does not require expertise. This is further enhanced by the extensive use of pictorial icons. Though you can use mouse but for people like me who depend heavily on keyboard the navigation in and between forms is very easy. In addition to the space for random notes this has easily navigable fields for all sorts of records. You can have all the pathological reports at one place. It has good forms to feed data of any kind of routine tests including X-rays. All these fields are date sensitive so you can have comparisons of present and previous tests. These readymade forms have fields for chief complaint, physical generals, family and past history, thermals, mentals, sleep and dreams, pediatric and gynecological status and finally for investigations and examinations.
This software has some educational material too about the elements, periodic table and uses of the elements. Some of the promised features of the professional version have diet, patient education and instructions, which are very useful for really neat practice. Plus there are very good utilities including the ones for issuing medical certificates and bills. Accounting is rudimentary but useful for general practitioners. Basic statistical calculations are also possible.

Coming from Sanjeevani Software this software has features to import CARA rubric list also. In this manner this becomes an unofficial add on for the CARA.

The fact remains that case taking is a very individualistic art of medicine. It must have been very difficult for the developers to reach a consensus about the design and working of this software for they have taken care of almost every possible way of case taking. They have done a commendable job and deserve applauses. Highly recommended.
