Hospital Management System

INTRODUCTION

For benefits to hospital, clinics, dispensary or pathology labs for maintaining patients details and their test results, we are developing a powerful, flexible and user friendly Hospital Management System. It is designed to offer different services for the hospital such as medical, administration and management. It is an integrated end-to-end Hospital Management System that provides relevant information across the hospital to support effective decision making for patient care, hospital administration and critical financial accounting, in a seamless flow.

The Hospital Management System software product is designed to improve the quality and management of hospital in the areas of clinical process analysis and activity based costing.

It aims to reduce the manual processing of each department. This software takes care of the details of each and every department. These details gives the doctor, staffs, specialists and patient details including their salary, attendance , doctor’s appointments and the billing system. The details of Doctor and staff help the hospital to maintain the record of every person. Their attendance details help them to know about their attentive presence while salary is calculated. The billing system provides an efficient way for calculating bill details of the patients.

 Different information stored in the hospitals such as patient information may be difficult to retrieve immediately. This results in inconvenience and wastage of

Once the software requirements have been analyzed and specified the software design involves three technical activities – design, coding, implementation and testing that are required to build and verify the software.

Software design is a process through which requirements are translated into a representation of software.

In this software the forms to be developed include:

Registration

Helps in registering information about patients, doctors and handling any patient’s query. A unique ID is generated for each patient and doctor after registration. This helps in implementing customer relationship management and also maintains medical history of the patient.
