Hi amy123456-ga,

We'd need more details.

1) What info is in the database?  Name? Address? Location? Stage?
2) If the doctors and nurses use this application, where will they
will be using it from?  A PC?  A PDA?  A cell phone?  A web browser?
3) Who and how will the data be input?  Will the patient be carrying a
GPS location device that communicates with the database?  If so,
what's the brand/make of the location device?  As hamma-ga mentioned,
in what sense is the application "wireless"?

Thanks

(Admitting, Surgery, Recovery. discharge) date and time clock from

   be using it from?   PC's within dept

3) Who and how will the data be input?  Nurses, secretaries and DR --
Through a user interface that we create with this process.

4- Will the patient be carrying a GPS location device that
communicates with the database? - I A wireless band ( We have not
defined the brand as of yet) any suggest please advise.

5- In what sense is the application "wireless"? As the patient moves
from one location to another (Admitting, Surgery, Recovery, discharge)
we would have receivers strategically placed.


Thank you

Hi amy123456-ga

The application will have to depend on the device chosen/used--since
different devices have different interface requirements.  I would
recommend getting an "out-of-the-box" package that includes both the
hardware and software--check out one of the products at:

http://www.wherifywireless.com/

Or do a search on google.com with the terms "location tracking service"

Since this is used in a hospital setting, the device will have to go
through health and safety as well as FCC approvals (radiation, etc.). 
You might want to invest in a consulting service (such as Deloitte) to
guide you through the process.
