Hospital Management Case Study: Neema Hospital

1. BACK GROUND

Neema HOSPITAL is situated along Thika road with a very large patient capacity. This number is increasing at a rapidly with each passing day. The Management of the hospital is concerned with the increasing effort in keeping the records of the patients and recording their activities (done manually).

The Hospital has been dealing with outpatient and later advanced to inpatient. IT maintains full information of both the indoor and out patients for the purpose of future retrieval. Doctors who handle patients are regular employees of the hospital and sometimes external doctors can be hired to handle complicated issues. For this reason the hospital needs to maintain its records of Doctors separately along with records of other

5. LITERATURE REVIEW

Introduction

The purpose of writing this literature review is to find out how hospital management systems in various hospitals work and compare it with Neema hospital management system. CASE STUDY – TANAKA HOSPITAL

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Tanaka hospital is situated in Busia in Western Kenya. On average, around 500 patients per day tend to visit the hospital, resulting in large queues. With such a diverse range of services offered.

Tanaka hospital needed to implement a Patient Management solution.

The Challenge

The challenge was the fact that many patients, particularly those who travel long distances to visit the department, tend to arrive hours before their scheduled appointment, further adding to the existing queues.

Patient visibility was a further challenge; with staff time wasted searching for patients through manual records.

Functionality of the new

Under the development of a system, a methodology refers to the process will be taken to ensure that a system is effectively and efficiently developed. In designing Neema management system, the following system development methodology will be used.

Interviews

A planned meeting during which the interview obtains information from the interviewee.

Questionnaires

This is a data collection technique that will used in areas with dense population as it will save time and money while collecting a huge amount of Money. It will comprise of very easy questions answers being yes or no, and other small issues. This will help us get the general overview of activities that transpire in Neema hospital.

Research:

A research will be carried out all over including the web on existing systems that are already there in the market and we will be able to know where exactly to start from and improve on what they miss .The information gathered will be highly appreciated.

System Development Lifecycle

PROTOTYPING MODEL

It refers to the activity of creating prototypes of software applications, for example, incomplete versions of the software program being developed. In my case we will use Evolutionary
