I'm really struggling with how to put this on paper, I am good with MS Paint and Word but don't know how to use Access at all. I just need a nudge in the right direction of how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is on paper and I can transcribe it on to Paint...

New Century Wellness Group offers a holistic approach to healthcare with an emphasis on preventive medicine as well as traditional medical care. In your role as an IT consultant, you will help New Century develop a new information system.

Background

Based on your presentation to New Centurys partners, they decided to move forward with in-house development of a new business support system. They liked the idea of a vertical software package, but they want to be able to customize the user interface because New Centurys business functions are more varied. However, it is very important that the new system allow future integration with vertical packages such as electronic health records, computerized provider order entry, and a clinical decision support system.

Using the information you gained in the systems planning and analysis phases of the SDLC, you sit down to begin designing the user interface of the New Centurys business support system. Before you begin, you decide to review the case studies, DFDs, and object-oriented diagrams you prepared in Chapters 5 and 6.

Tasks

1. Using the guidelines and suggestions in this chapter, design a user interface. Draw storyboards, then use Microsoft Access or another form-designing application to create the screens (you may use Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Word, Excel, etc.).
