Capital Health

Capital District Health Authority (Capital Health) provides core health services to 395,000 residents of Nova Scotia. Capital Health exists within the largest integrated academic health district in Atlantic Canada, known as the Capital Health District. The Capital Health District is one of nine health districts in Nova Scotia.

Capital Health users now have browser based access to a Remote Requisitioning application, running on the iSeries that interfaces with a database purchased from SSA-Global-Infinium. The purpose of these applications is to provide the various departments in the hospital group a method of entering/displaying/tracking requisitions (or inventory orders). A requisition can consist of items from surgical supplies to pharmaceuticals.

WebSmart Project

WebSmart was selected by Capital Health as the tool of choice to develop browser based applications to replace the existing text based programs. The existing application consisted of several RPG programs with numerous display file record formats. The general flow of the existing system, including the underlying data files and business logic needed to be preserved in the browser development.

The WebSmart project was estimated at 104 hours and completed in 100. This included analysis of the existing system, design, development and testing of the application programs that incorporated the site design in use by other CDHA applications. The application itself is a secure application accessible to authorized hospital staff only so there is no public access.

Client Comments

Ken Doctor, senior programmer with Capital Health at the time the project was implemented says, "It's been a pleasure to work with Stephanie (Stephanie Rabbani, BCD WebSmart developer) and the rest of the staff at BCD Consulting Group. As our staff continue to "roll out" the 'Online Ordering and Inquiry' application, it serves to be the starting point of our supply replenishment chain throughout the organization. The new users say they love it (thank you Stephanie!)."
