palCentre is clinical data capture software that allows services to participate in PCOC's and PACOP's national patient outcome data collection. It has been designed as an easy to use tool for services to collect information about patients and residents, the interventions they receive and their outcomes. palCentre writes data to a SQL database that can be accessed simultaneously by multiple installations/computers. There are two options for the type of SQL database that can be used. These are:

1. SQL server database - if your service/home already has a SQL server database, this is the preferred option for installation.
2. SQL Compact database - this method can be used if your service/home does not have a SQL server available to be used.

...

1. SQL compact server
   1. Only required if using an SQL compact database
   2. Included in install file sent from PCOC, if necessary
2. .NET Framework 4.6 or higher
   1. If on Windows 10, it will be pre-installed with your operating system
   2. If on an older version of Windows, it will need to be installed manually
