DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERISED HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
CHAPITRE ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION IN GENERAL
Healthcare facilities such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, health-saloons, and so on are viewed as beacons of hope by the sick and diseased. Medical facilities, like other organizations, are well-organized, with rigorous and sophisticated protocols. For good process management, these businesses demand efficient and powerful workforce. Their main goal is to provide quality treatment to patients in a proper and cost-effective manner. In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the country’s health sector, which has produced a need to build an application that would cover the majority of the difficulties addressed in this research effort. This research will be critical to the medical industry since it will address the majority of the issues that are causing some administrative tasks to be delayed. Hospital software effectively automates the entire process of aggregating, accessing, and gathering patient information, resulting in a faster reaction time to patient needs. Doctors and other senior hospital employees would be free to devote their valuable time to vital clinical activities rather than mundane secretarial tasks. Accounting may become extremely confusing and pathetic at times. Using the software eliminates all such difficulties by allowing you to access your information precisely.
1.2 INVESTIGATION
The first chapter introduces the research work and the problem definition of the research, and the research justification tells us why it is important to research on this topic; it also covers areas like scope and limitation of study, which entails the boundary of this work. The definition of words summarizes what each chapter includes.
1.3 DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM
This study was conducted to identify some of the issues with traditional hospital management systems. Record entry, updating pertinent patient information in his/her record, calculation, storage, and retrieval of records are still done by hand. Using these traditional modes of functioning may cause delays in the institution’s administrative system.
1.4 STUDY OBJECTIVES
Given the aforementioned issues, the goal of this project is to create a hospital administration system that would solely:
Automate the hospital’s daily procedures, such as automatically assigning a unique id to each patient while creating his or her record. Changes made to any entry in its database are updated in real time.
Handle the hospital billing facilities efficiently.
1.5. JUSTIFICATION OF RESEARCH
This research will give a dependable method of processing patient records properly, eliminating lag time in file recovery, and including a billing system. Furthermore, it will aid in the portrayal of structural documents and alleviate the monotony of conducting monotonous transactions. This study will also add to the current literature in this field and act as a guide or template for an undergraduate student.
1.6 METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
The “design and implementation of an interactive system for hospital management” research project will be a web-based application built on a relational database system (MySQL). The web-user interface will be designed in HTML, CSS, and Jquery, while php (hypertext preprocessor) will be utilized as the server-side script language to connect the interface and the database.
1.7 STUDY SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
The goal of this research is to create a system capable of handling the majority of administrative tasks in the hospital, such as storing patient records with each patient assigned a unique id by the system, retrieving these records with ease when needed, facilitating record update, and restricting access in the database with the allocation of privileges to authorized personnel. The system will also include a billing system that will record and print patient bills for all services provided by the hospital. The system will not include all of the functions of a health record system in its development, but will instead concentrate on the aforementioned functionalities. If the system’s environment (network/system placed on) is corrupt, the system will not be liable for any data loss.
1.8.0 DEFINITION OF THE TERM PATIENT: A person who is receiving or has been registered to receive medical care.
1.9.0 CHAPTER ORGANIZATION
This section was created to explain what each chapter does. Chapter one introduces the project to the reader by explaining the problems the project is supposed to solve, the objective of the study and research justification describes the purpose and importance of researching on this topic, research methodology describes the method used in implementing the research work, scope and limitation describes the boundary of the research work, and w
The second chapter discusses the literature review and the state of the art.This chapter examines the literature review, what people have published linked to this study work and its inadequacies, and how the current research can address those shortcomings.
The third chapter discusses system design methodology, which is a collection of tools, methods, and practices for completing a task; the requirement specification, which defines the system analysis’s expectations; and design, which is the blueprint of what the system will perform.
The fourth chapter discusses implementation, system testing methodologies, target computer system requirements, program maintenance, and so on.
Chapter five outlines the study effort’s recommendations and conclusion, as well as how this work might be applied to the problem domain.
