Neurosurgery Multi-Hospital Web-Based Administrative Database
Sponsor: David LaBorde, MD, MBA; Emory Department of Neurosurgery; david.laborde@emory.edu
Abstract:
The Department of Neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine currently serves 6 hospitals
across the Atlanta metropolitan area. At most of these facilities, neurosurgery uses a locally installed
version of a Microsoft Access database for clinical administrative functions including generating patient
lists for patient care and preparing monthly reports on case volume, among others. Unfortunately these
locally installed Access databases are not networked or accessible remotely, which would be very
helpful for the on-call neurosurgeon permitting them to better and more efficiently care for patients. In
addition, because the databases are not networked, it is presently not possible to readily get an all
inclusive snapshot of Neurosurgery operations across all hospitals without manually merging the each
hospital’s data
