Hi there,

I'm have a fairly good grasp of programming language & syntax in general (being from an engineering & math background), but am an amateur programmer at best. I would like to get more practical experience.

I'm trying to help design a program/application that would take inputted information (say from drop down menus), which would then be used to fill out certain fields in another program (specifically, PerfectCare, a medical management software). I wanted to develop an application that woudl allow my parents (physicians) to select billing codes from drop-down menus with specific diagnoses, and then have this routed to a patient's billing information in the PerfectCare software. As of now, we have to have the biller manually enter it and it takes up so much time.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. Apologies if I come across as a novice.

It depends HEAVILY on the details of the applications. Does PerfectCare use a database to store the info, or something else? Does it have an API? Etc?

I know you can import/export the information as either csv/xls files. For example, you can generate spreadsheets of patients with balances on their accounts. I don't know if that helps. However, I'll give the company a call tomorrow and ask and get back to you.
