Abstract

A computerized database management system has been developed for an expanding donor inseminatin service. The programs have been written in dBASEIV language and they will run on a single personal computer (IBM OR compatible, with a hard disc) or on a network. The central database enables access to stock, donor and couple details and routine statistics e.g. pregnancy rates, although levels of access to the system are restricted by password control. The central database provides an archival component, with data recorded on daily basis, a service management component assisting in the routine administration of a donor insemination service, a financial component and a statistical component providing for both local and national statistics. Data may be converted for use in other software packages. e.g. SPSSX, SAS (statistical packages), encouraging data manipulation and enabling specific research questions to be addressed more readily.
