Can anyone provide me with a starting point in Microsoft access? i see the value and the appeal in creating my own database for storing patient information, but i just cant get it started from scratch.


If any of you could provide me with the template they'e using, or have developed themselves, I'd be so grateful I might even pay a small amount for it. I'm opening a small finish lab and i need a way to keep track of the rx information. I find it absolutely intolerable that I'll need to manually scan them to attach them to my quickbooks $ system, or that i can only keep manual paper records, OR spend thousands on a records system that's just completely overkill.

I'm just a finish lab. I literally only need to keep track of the date, the patient name, the account that ordered it, and the rx and lens type. This shouldn't be so damn difficult.


Again, whatever insight can be provided is appreciated.
