Need to modernize AS400-based electronic patient record system
The company’s existing electronic patient record system was based on AS400 technology. Built on the traditional green screens, the AS400 legacy system involved extensive usage of function keys and terminal emulators, leading to sub-par user experiences. Needless to say, the system made the training of sales representatives difficult and time-consuming. Additionally, the lack of scalability and increasing difficulty in integration with other software presented another set of challenges.
The client recognized the need for a powerful graphical user interface standard in modern-day applications. They wanted to modernize the existing electronic patient records system while retaining its functionalities and business logic.
