In 7 hours, I imagine that someone slightly above my skill level could write a simple program to do the same task.

If you are using a SQL database and the requirements are a straight forward function of the available patient data, it would not take a programmer much more time to write a database query than to understand the requirements. This should take far less than 7 hours.
