Carefirst

We have extensive experience in developing reporting functionality for OLM´s social care product CareFirst, in both client server and web-based environments. We have produced bespoke outputs in various versions of Oracle Reports and Business Objects, feeding into pdf, xml, excel and word formats. We have also produced numerous functions to transfer data to and from the Carefirst schema, for example linking health to social care databases via the regular mass import of NHS identifiers. We´ve been able to support the introduction of central government policy by providing targetted and timely bespoke reporting functionality.

Examples of functionality provided include:

• Chronologies of casenotes, life events and activities, outputting to Word via XML (i.e. not text boxes) thereby enabling proper manipulation of the document thereafter
• Upgrading all Oracle reporting to BOXi using existing Oracle database packages (call in BOXi via pipes) to provide consistent data gathering functionality...[read more about this]
• Numerous outputs to assist with Monthly Monitoring processes for both Adults and Childrens Services
• Mass data loading of NHS and Pupil identifiers (to allow government-wide reporting) using unix scripting and SQL*Loader
• Reports to calculate indicative and actual charges to Homecare clients with or without declared needs.
