Pediatric Symptoms Checklist – PSC – in MEDICAL

09 Monday May 2011

, ,

MEDICAL, the Free Health and Hospital Information System has incorporated the PSC to its latest development branch.
The Pediatric Symptoms Checklist – PSC – has been developed by Dr. Michael Jellinek and Dr. Michael Murphy  from the Massachusetts General Hospital.

The authors define the PSC as “a brief screening questionnaire that is used by pediatricians and other health professionals to improve the recognition and treatment of psychosocial problems in children” 

PSC patient section in MEDICAL

MEDICAL uses the standard PSC form – to be completed by the parents – and will include the Y-PSC.

MEDICAL automatically calculates the total PSC score, based upon form values. It also highlights the evaluations that might indicate a child psychosocial impairment.

The PSC cutoff values will be localized to the different countries (Japan, Germany, Holland …), so it will fit their recommended cutoffs.

Sample data of PSC in MEDICAL

I want to thank Drs. Michael Jellinek and Michael Murphy for developing PCS, as well as Sandra Bishop, PhD and María Pagano, PhD from further investigating and working on this great system. I specially thank them for making it a free resource, for the well-being of all the childrens around the world. If you use the PSC functionality of MEDICAL in your health center, please send them a note !

Thank you
Luis Falcón

Dear all :

This is a sneak preview of what’s going on in the development of MEDICAL

There is a new module for pediatrics, which will cover the existing neonatology and all the other pediatric information.

Newborn wristbands
To maximize security and identification of the newborn, MEDICAL assigns a newborn ID, and allows to print the four identification bands to place it on the baby and mother’s wrists and ankles.

Newborn barcoded wristband created by MEDICAL
The identification band will have a unique barcode that can be checked by the institution security personnel at anytime. 

New Pediatrics Module and enhanced Neonatology information

The new pediatrics module will cover the neonatal , infancy, toddler and teenage information.

The neonatology process has been extensively revised, with many new indicators and functionality, such as :

  • Multiple APGAR tests
  • Automatic APGAR score
  • Newborn reflexes, 
  • Improved sign and symptoms
  • New newborn tests

The antenatal information and the puerperium remains in the gynecology / obstetrics module.

You can check the new functionality in the development version. Please test it and let us know your suggestions !

Kisiizi Hospital is located in the Republic of Uganda in Western region near the boarder of DR congo. Kisiizi Hospital treats about 300,000 residents with the nearest hospital nearly 100 kilometers away, in Kabaale, it serves as a health haven for most residents who can barely afford pain killers. 
With support from many well wishers from UK, the hospital also trains Nurses at the Nursing school, these in turn are employed at the hospital. The hospital generates its own power through a hydro power plant. Its capacity is 250 beds. 
We at Geomaqs Technologies Ltd are helping the hospital implement a management Information System based on openerp. 
We would like to adopt medical as a HIS/MRS. Are there any members who have functional modules for openerp 5.0.14, reply mokongo@geomaqs.com
