RFI: Medical Records Archiving (3)
----------------------------------

Hi Christopher

Such a request is organisational-specific. The complexity of the
system that you can design will depend on the kind and nature of
data you have been collecting, plus the use which you want to
put the collected data to. You have an option of developing and
customising a database system easily using EpiInfo
(http://www.cdc.gov/epiinfo/) or MS Access. However, you would
love considering SQL server or Oracle - considering the numbers
of records you collect annually, possibility that the database
size will expand as it will be in use for some years ahead plus
the limitations of MS Access. At the extreme, you'll surely need
to contract a DBA / software developer for the task.
