1. INTRODUCTION

The iLink program allows us to capture data from a nurse call system and save it in a database.

In a second module of the program, the web application NovilogReports, we can then choose

from six different reports. Every report can be produced for a certain period, such as from the

1st of a month to the 14th of the month. You can also specify the room for which this report

must be made. Reports 4 through 6 can be made for a group of rooms. With a third module,

the web application NovilogAdmin, you can easily change general information.

2. GENERAL OPERATION

iLink consists of three components: a program that receives the data from the nurse call

system and two websites. One website generates all the necessary reports, and the other

enables you to change general information. Since the nurse call system is in operation 24 out

of every 24 hours, the PC and the iLink program must also operate 24 hours a day. The server

portion captures all the messages from the nurse call system and converts them to the required

format for storage in an Access database. Additional data, such as the date and time, are also

added to the call. The websites make the call data available to all employees and allow them to

easily make changes to tasks, nursing care and rooms.

3. FUNCTION OF ILINK SERVER

The iLink program receives data from the nurse call system, parses it and converts the data for

storage in the database.

This program must be operational 24 hours a day to ensure there is no loss of data in the

database. Data that is not stored in the database because this program is not functioning can

never be recovered.

4. NOVILOG REPORTGENERATOR

This website allows us to retrieve information from the database according to pre-established

criteria. There are six different reports available. Every report presents the requested

information in a different manner.

4.1. Starting the website (report generator)

To start the report generator, start a web browser (such as Internet Explorer) and enter

‘http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Novilog’ in the address bar, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address

of the Novilog PC (e.g. http://192.168.0.99/Novilog). The website is accessible after entering a

username and password. Once the website is loaded, a screen appears with a menu of the

available reports on the left side. If you hover the mouse pointer over a button, a text

description will appear with additional information about the report associated with that

button.

4.2. Producing a report

Once you have decided which report you need, click the associated button.

4.3. Using the filter

Now a window opens that contains a number of settings. For reports 1 through 3 you can

select one room, since these reports can only be used for a single room and not a group of

rooms.

The first thing to fill in is the starting date for the report, which you must enter in

DD/MM/YYYY format. Once you have done this, you fill in the end date for the report. Now

that you have entered the period for the data you are interested in, you have to tell the program

which room or group of rooms to include in the report. For reports 4 through 6 you can select

a group of rooms. If desired, you can also select the type of nursing care.

To produce the report, click the ‘Select’ button. The report will now be generated.

4.4. Custom reports

Custom reports can be created at your request, if the data is present in the database.

4.5. Sample reports

Every report can be sent to a printer or exported to PDF, MS Word or MS Excel format.

This website enables you to make changes to rooms, tasks and personnel.

5.1. Starting the website (NovilogAdmin)

To start NovilogAdmin, start a web browser (such as Internet Explorer) and enter

‘http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/NovilogAdmin’ in the address bar, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP

address of the Novilog PC (e.g. http://192.168.0.99/NovilogAdmin).

Once the website is loaded, a screen appears with a menu of the available items on the left

side.

5.2. Using NovilogAdmin

In the menu on the left side, click the item you want to change.

Click the ‘Add’ button to add data, click the pencil icon to change data, and click the red ‘X’

to delete data.
