Dr. Peter Olden has decided to open his own medical office, Olden Medical Group. He is going to hire 3 additional physicians to join his practice. He has contracted your company, KU Technology Group, to identify his technology needs.
Dr. Olden has indicated the following needs:
• Need a system to maintain patient information:
o Patient data
o Appointments
o Patient medical history
o Medications
o Payment History
• Need a system to maintain physician information:
o Physician information such as specialty area, office hours, salary information
• Need a word processing program to create letters, mailing labels, envelopes, newsletters
• Need a system to maintain checkbook
• Need a system to perform payroll
• The patient data would need to be accessible by the entire staff.
• The following reports are needed:
o Daily Appointment Log (date, time, patient name, reason for visit)
o Payments Received Report
o Monthly Expense Report with Bar Chart
o Past Due Account Balance Report
? The physician requested that a report be generated for the following: If the patient
is delinquent on his/her account for more than 30 days, he would like to charge the
patient a $25 late fee. This report will show the patients that are late and the new
balance that they owe, which will include this fee.
o Weekly Payroll Report
Identify the type of operating system needed. Justify the reason why this operating system is recommended.
