CMEasy

CMEasy Version 2.0 Copyright (c) USEFUL SOFTWARE 1996 Introduction ============ CMEasy is a programme based on an idea by Terry Irwin MD., FRCS Consultant Surgeon, for recording CME events (Continuing Medical Education). It is basically a database of such events. The events can be edited and deleted etc. The main thrust of the programme is the facility to insert these events into the standard AGENDA programme. CMEasy then filters the AGENDA file for any "Undefined" events and asks you to indicate whether the event was attended or not. A report can then be produced of the events which were, or were not attended along with a total of time spent at the categorised events. The generated report is then exported to the WORD application.
