You got another one hooked

I have a client with a custom accounting system. The accounting system is comprised of 1200 programs. And of course, none of those programs are documented.

I've been proto-typing how I might use Obsidian to document this system. I'll write a script to parse the source code. The script will create a .md file for every program. The .md file will have backlinks to every program the parsed program can branch to. This will give me a graph that shows how all the programs relate to each other.

Then over the next few months, I can start fleshing out the documentation. I plan on adding the menu number, menu name, and a brief description of the program's function.

I am trying to figure out how to use this with an insurance company. Life insurance underwriters make a lot of notes as they examine client medical records. Doctors / medications / medical conditions / diagnosis, etc...

I want to figure out how to structure the client folders, notes, and how the links should work so we can refer back to them later on and track certain metrics.

I assume that a "MOC" is the most important document in a folder. Can someone give me an example of how an MOC might look if that is the case? A screenshot maybe?

I want to be able to quickly generate/view an overall health history using all the underwriter's notes when pulling up a client's profile. Sorry for the long post, but i'm going down a rabbit hole. It's Friday night, and knowing my brain....I'm not getting to sleep anytime soon until I can figure this crap out.

Amazing how something like that can happen, and yet it is incredibly common.

I've had to clean up large networks with zero documentation, but at least network equipment generally has built-in protocols to help you see attached devices.

Doing that with code would be absolutely painstaking without something to help you map it out.



Seeing Chromdome's note system is inspiring, tbh. What I currently do is better for me than any previous note taking systems I've done, but I can see that I could make my notes incredibly better. I just dont have time to dive into it right now.
