CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

1.1.0   GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Healthcare establishments like hospitals, rehabilitation centers, health-saloons etc. are seen as figures of hope by the sick and diseased. Just like other organizations, medical establishments are also well-organized, following rigid and complex processes. These establishments require efficient and strong manpower for proper management of their processes. Their main objective is to offer quality healthcare to patients in a proper and cost-effective way. In recent years, there has been noticed a rapid growth in the health sector in the country, which in turn has created a need to build an application that will address most of the issues address in this research work. This research work will be of paramount importance to the medical sector as it will be design to address most of the challenges that delay some of the administrative work.

Hospital software easily automates the whole process of collating; retrieving and gathering patient information and as a consequence it results in improved response time towards the patient’s demands. Doctors and other senior staff of the hospital would be capable of spending their precious time in other clinical activities over simple clerical activities. Sometimes it happens that accounting becomes very much complicated and pathetic. Using the software will remove all such complexities as it helps you retrieve your information accurately.

 1.2.0                INTRODUCTION

Definition of terms gives summarize what each chapter entails.

1.3.0   PROBLEM DEFINITION

This research work was undertaken to uncover some of the problems with conventional hospital management systems. Where record entry, updating relevant patient information in his/her record, calculation, storage and retrieval of records are still being done manually. Using these conventional moods of operation may pose delay in the administrative system in the institution.

1.4.0                  OBLECTIVE OF STUDY

In view of the problems mentioned above, this project is aimed at implementing a hospital management system which will exclusively:

  • Automate the daily operations of the hospital such as assigningunique id for every patient when creating his/her record, staff automatically. Simultaneously update changes made to any record in its database.
  • Efficiently handle the hospital billing facility.

1.5.0             RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION      

This research work will provide a reliable way of handling patient’s record effectively and eliminate the lag time in file recovery and also with an inclusion of a billing system. Furthermore, it will aids structural document representation and eliminates the tedium of performing monotonous transaction. This research will also contribute to existing literature in this area and will serve as a guild or blueprint for an undergraduate student.

1.6.0         RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This research work “design and implementation of an interactive system for hospital management” will be a web-based application and will be implemented on a relational database system(MySQL). Html(hypertext markup language), css(cascading style sheet) and Jquery will be used to design the web-user interface, php (hypertext preprocessor) will be used as the serve- side script language to link the interface and the database.

1.7.0                SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY  

This research work is to develop a system capable of handling most of the administrative task in the hospital; such as storing patient’s record with each patient giving a unique id by the system, retrieve these records with ease when needed, facilitate record update, restricting access in the database with the allocation of privileges to authorize personnel. The system will also incorporate in its design a billing system that will record and prints patient’s bill for every service offered in the hospital.

The system will not incorporate in its development all the functions of a health record system but will focus only on the aforementioned functionalities. The system will not be responsible for any loss of data if its environment (network/system installed on) is corrupt.

1.8.0                    DEFINITION OF TERM

PATIENT: a person receiving or registered to receive medical treatment.

Definition of termsgives definition of some of the keywords to be to use in this work. Chapter layoutsummarize what each chapter entails.

1.3.0 PROBLEM DEFINITION

This research work was undertaken to uncover the various problems with conventionalhospital management system. These includes;

  1. Lack of immediate retrievals: -The information is very difficult to retrieve E.g. – To find

out about the patient’s history, the user has to go through various registers. This results ininconvenience and wastage of time.

  1. Lack of immediate information storage: – The information generated by varioustransactions takes time and efforts to be stored at right place.
  2. Lack of prompt updating: – Various changes to information like patient details are difficultto make as paper work is involved.
  3. Error prone manual calculation: – Manual calculations are error prone and takes a lot oftime, this may result in incorrect information.

1.4.0 OBJECTIVE OF STUDY

In view of the problems mentioned above, this project is aimed atimplementing a hospital management system which will exclusively:

  • Automate the daily operations of the hospital
  • Assign unique id for every patient and store the details of every patient and thestaff automatically.
  • Simultaneously update changes made to any data, item in the entire database.
  • Efficiently handle the hospital billing facility.

1.5.0 RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION

Hospital management system is of great important to hospitals because all current processes

are done manually;

  • Information about Patients is done by just writing the Patients name, age and gender.

Whenever the Patient comes up his information is stored freshly.

 

  • Bills are generated by recording price for each facility provided to Patient on a separate sheet and at last they all are summed up.
  • Diagnosis information to patients is generally recorded on the document, which contains Patient information. It is destroyed after some time period to decrease the paper load in the office.

 

Introduction of hospital management systems will help to overcome the problems mentioned

 

above.
