INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS LEHIPEDS?
LEHIPEDS is an easy to use Medical Office Management System
designed especially for Pediatric medical practices. It is the
ideal, inexpensive solution to computerizing a small pediatric
office. By small we mean anywhere from a solo practice up to a
group practice of 4 or 5 pediatricians. This program was designed
by a pediatrician and a pediatric office manager.
Although developed with the pediatrician in mind, this program can
be used equally well in many other medical offices. This would be
particularly true for medical specialties, like pediatrics, that
have a high volume of outpatient visits. As an example, this
program would be very suitable for family or general practice. It
is not recommended for use in large multispecialty practices.
LEHIPEDS is distributed as a Shareware product. This is a
marketing method which allows you to use and evaluate the program
before purchasing a license. This is NOT a free program. Be sure
you understand the Shareware concept described in this manual.
LEHIPEDS is loaded with features. There is, however, one striking
feature that sets us apart from the competition, namely that this
is a NETWORK READY PROGRAM. What does this mean to the user? A
lot!! Many programs are advertised at a particular price for use
on a single computer. It is not long before the user realizes
that he or she needs the multiuser or network version. Then comes
the big surprise; the network version is often 3 or 4 times more
expensive than the single user version. Since considerable time
has already been invested in data entry, there is little choice
but to buy the more pricey big brother version.
Most offices, including solo practices, will require network
so
