CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

 

1.1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Healthcare establishments like hospitals, rehabilitation centers, health-saloons etcareseen as figures of hope by the sick and diseased. Just like other organizations, medicalestablishments are also well-organized, following rigid and complex processes. Theseestablishments require efficient and strong manpower for proper management of theirprocesses. 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 of hospital industry inour country, which in turn has created a need of hospital software. This software is verymuch valuable for hospitals as it has lots of advanced features. Hospital management Systemhas been designed for managing complete hospital system and delivering the desired benefitsto the hospitals.

 

Hospital software easily automates the whole process of collating; retrieving and gatheringa

patient information and as a consequence it results in improved response time towards thepatient's demands. Doctors and other seniors of the hospital would be capable of spendingtheir precious time in other clinical activities over simple clerical activities. Sometimes ithappens that accounting becomes very much complicated and pathetic. Using the softwarewill remove all such complexities as it helps you retrieve your information accurately on your finger tips

1.2.0INTRODUCTION

Chapter one introduces the research work and the problem definition ofthe research, and to know the aim of this research work, research justification tellsus why it is important to research on this topic, it also covers areas like scope andlimitation of study which entails the boundary of this work. Definition of termsgives definition of some of the keywords to be to use in this work. Chapter layoutsummarize what each chapter entails.

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.

2. Lack of immediate information storage: - The information generated by varioustransactions takes time and efforts to be stored at right place.

3. Lack of prompt updating: - Various changes to information like patient details are difficultto make as paper work is involved.

4. Error prone manual calculation: - Manual calculations are error prone and takes a lot oftime, this may result in incorrect information.

1.4.0OBLECTIVE 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.

1.5.0RESEARCH 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.

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.

SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY

 

It can be used in any Hospital, Clinic, Dispensary or Pathology labs for maintaining

 

staff details, patient details and their lab results. this research work is limited by time

 

constraints, money and unavailability of resources etc.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

 

HOSPITAL: an institution providing medical and surgical treatment and nursing

 

care for sick or injured people.

 

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

 

HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: a computer hardware and software that

 

processes hospital’s data.

 

DATABASE: an organized collection of data this is stored in computer and can be

 

accessed and used in various ways.

 

RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: it uses relation or two

 

dimensional tables to store information.

 

MYSQL: it is an English like database query language used for retrieving and

 

managing data in a relational database management system, it is a query language for

 

querying and modifying data and managing databases.

 

PHP: originally stood for personal homepage currently, it is known as hypertext

CHAPTER LAYOUT

 

This section was put in place to explain what each chapter does, chapter

 

one introduces the project to the reader by explaining the problems the project is

 

supposed to solve, objective of the study and research justification is to describe to

 

the reader the purpose and the importance of researching on this topic, research

 

methodology is all about the method used in implementing the research work, scope

 

and limitation describes the boundary of the research work and where the project

 

work can be put into use.

 

Chapter two deals with the literature review and state-of-the-art, this chapter

 

discusses literature review, what people have published related to this research

 

work and their shortcoming, how this present research work can improve their

 

shortcomings, if any.

 

Chapter three deals with the system design methodology I.e. collection of

 

tools methods and practices for achieving a task, the requirement specification states

 

the expectation of the system, and design which is the blueprint of what the system

 

would carry out.

 

Chapter four has to do with the implementation, system testing strategies,

 

target computer system requirement, software maintenance etc

 

Chapter five discusses the recommendations and conclusion part of the

 

research work and how this research work can be applicable to the problem domain.
