An Overview
Of The TCM Reference Library
SEE DEMO of drug/herb section
Not only
does AcuBase Standard 2.003 provide you with many great practice management
tools, we also want to make sure that you are the best practitioner
you could possibly be. That's why we've created a full traditional Chinese
medical library, complete with almost 2,000 records: hundreds of formulas,
herbs, points, review questions taken from state and national board
exam reading lists, and over 500 patent formulas and related information
from the top vendors in the industry! While this may sound great
in itself, perhaps the most valuable part of this library is what doesn't
come with it: your personal clinical preferences and experiences, which
each database has been designed to incorporate. That's right, the Reference
Library has been designed to accommodate your techniques, your preferences,
and your clinical experiences.
The Reference
Library features:
- Almost
2,000 records: herbs, formulas, patent formulas, acupoints, and several
hundred review questions.
- Point-,
herb-, and formula-specific layouts.
- Chinese
characters for herbs and formulas.
- Full
integration with the rest of AcuBase Standard 2.003. For each herb,
view related formulas and patent formulas, as well as vendors who
supply each herb and how much you may have in stock. For formulas
and patent formulas, link directly to the vendors that supply each
formula and read through vendor-supplied information; adjust your
inventory; and link directly to the herbs in each formula with a click
of the mouse.
- Full-color
photos of over 200 popular Chinese herbs.
- Reports
that print in a variety of formats, including index cards and formulas
with associated dosages and Chinese characters.
- The
ability to import and export data between your favorite programs.
- The
ability to add, delete, and/or edit any information in any field,
and add or delete any records
- Easy,
flexible searches for symptom-specific data.
- Sorting
by any field with the click of a button.
- A consistent,
intuitive interface.
- Context-sensitive
help available from any screen.
And all
the other features that have made AcuBase Standard the
standard for traditional Chinese medical reference software! See
demo of drug/herb section
The Reference
Library database has been designed with an intuitive interface through
every step of the design process. Every layout contains the same general
template found throughout the rest of the database, such that, if one
understands the basic organization of the data in one area (such as
herbs), then access to and manipulation of data in another area (such
as formulas or acupoints) is simple.
To open
the Reference Library database, click on the Reference Library icon
from the Main Menu, or click on any of its related topics (AcuPoints,
Herbs, Formulas, Patent Formulas, or Review Topics).

Upon opening
any of the associated databases, you are presented with all of the records/data
related to that subject in list format. To see more details about a
given acupuncture point, herb, or formula, one may easily switch to
Form View by simply pressing a button located next to the name of the
point/herb/formula, or clicking on the "View As Form" button
at the top of the screen. Most herbs and formulas have Chinese characters
included, and many of the herbs also have full color pictures to make
identification a snap. Reports may be printed in long form, or on index
cards. Herbs, points, formulas, and/or questions may be searched by
any field in any layout. Finding the right points, herbs, or formulas
by indication is simple and quick.
