About CSV format
A CSV file is a text file, with fields delimited with comma "," or semicolon ";". Other delimiters are also allowed, but rarely used. The text fields can be quoted, most often by the double quote mark. The example CSV file would look like this:
ID,First name,Last name 1,John,Doe 2,Mary Jane,Smith
After reading this file in spreadsheet application like OpenOffice or MS Excel, you would get something like:
| ID | First name | Last name |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | John | Doe |
| 2 | Mary Jane | Smith |
Tables join
If you import the CSV files into a relational database, to perform any useful report, you need to join patient, admission and operation tables.
