DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT SYSTEM
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Patient record management systems in hospital today necessitate a competent
administration when handling patients, generating reports from cashier, patient
details which serves as a key factor for the flow of business transactions in a
Hospital. Unfortunately the current medical database system in Degema general
Hospital is manual; leads to misplacement of drug details, payment details, and
late release of reports and insecurity of records. This research project is aimed at
computerizing all the records about patient’s medical billing system. In order to
achieve this goal, a thorough System Study and investigation was carried out and
data was collected and analyzed about the current system using document and
data flow diagrams. The concept of report production has been computerized
hence, no more delay in report generation by the hospital manager. Errors made
on hand held calculations are dealt out completely. The method used to develop
the system is structured system design and analysis methodology and finally the
language used was Visual Basic 6.0 with Microsoft Access Database.
