How to attach a hand written memo to regular client record
I have an accounting package being used by an hospital. The receivables side of it
allows invoices to be prepared for clients.
I now have a need to be able to attach the hand written prescription written by the doctor
to my regular invoice record AND to keep the 2 records stored together possibly for later retrieval.
Every invoice has a unique no and i would like to have auto generated serial numbers for each prescription page
My application is written in Visual basic and can write to either SQLServer or PostgreSQL databases
My question are:
1. What options do I have in selecting devices that can be attached to a laptop and that allows hand written memo
to be save as part of a record ?
2. Is there any resource material for reading out there that can help me achieve this requirement ?
Thanks O.A Oluwole

I was under the impression that the memo was already written.
Yes, there are many different writing tablets available on the market, with different features. Simply look for "writing tablet" on Amazon or Staples and make you pick.
I have never worked with that type of peripheral, but I suppose that a good one will be able to at least provide a standard image file or be controlled by an application.

and click "Save" ??
If possible that would be my first choice unless of course its too expensive or difficult to implement.
After this consideration then I will think of having to scan with its own attendant issues. The problem I have with scanning is that this involves another extra hand because the prescribing Doctor will not be the person scanning what he already wrote
