PATIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

1. Title of the project: Patient Management System

2. Abstract of the project:

In a given day, number of patients visits a hospital or a clinic. Many hospitals in India still manage the patient data manually. Hospitals will be able to save money and time if they have a good software program for managing patient’s data.

The idea is to develop web based patient management software that can be used to keep track of the patients registering in a hospital or clinic. Doctors and the rooms available in a hospital can be managed using this system. Also, this system should support accessing the previous visit histories of any patient, search for patients by name etc.

A few points to be noted about the system we are developing here

·        A patient can be categorized as “ In patient” or “Out Patient”.  If patient type is "In Patient", a bed will be assigned to the patient.

·        A doctor will be assigned to each patient before the patient meets the doctor. Only one doctor can be assigned to a patient at a given time.

·        A patient can visit the hospital any number of times

The important roles associated with the system would be:

Administrator: Administrator will have complete control of the system. She/he can Add/Edit/Delete patients, Add/Edit/Delete Doctors, Add/Edit/Delete Beds, Search for patients, Assign patients to doctors.

Doctor: Doctor can access a patient’s record and update his observations about the patient in that particular visit.

Reports: The following reports can be generated. You can implement more reports which you think can be useful.

·        Utilization of doctors

·        List of Patients diagnosed by a disease

·        List of patients who visited during a given time period

3. EXISTING SYSTEM:

Ø Cannot Upload and Download the latest updates.

Ø No use of Web Services and Remoting.

Ø Risk of mismanagement and of data when the project is under development.

Ø Less Security.

Ø No proper coordination between different Applications and Users.

Ø Fewer Users - Friendly.

4. PROPOSED SYSTEM:

            The development of the new system contains the following activities, which try to automate the entire process keeping in view of the database integration approach.

Ø User friendliness is provided in the application with various controls.

Ø The system makes the overall project management much easier and flexible.

Ø Readily upload the latest updates, allows user to download the alerts by clicking the URL.

Ø There is no risk of data mismanagement at any level while the project development is under process.

Ø It provides high level of security with different level of authentication.
