Software Development For Hospital Patient Management

Abstract

This software is developed for the patient management in Hospitals. I was trained as a trainee developer for 5 months in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences, Faculty of Applied Sciences, and Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. This project is a team effort and I took part in the project for the requirement analysis, designing phases, implementation phases, and testing part. At the time of preparing this document the project was completed only up to the system testing stage. The rest of the stages were documented. It is expected to complete soon. The project main objective is to develop a user-friendly Hospital Patient Management system for the private channeling hospitals based on the functional specifications given by the Suwasewane Hospital in Kandy. To achieve this objective, Classical Life Cycle/ Waterfall model was used and the steps followed are: • Defining the requirements of the system and get the approval for it from the Hospital. • Designing the technical specifications ( Table definitions, Table normalization) • Implementation Application of the software is following way. After the patient is admitted in the Hospital, all the patient details are recorded, manually and automatically in the first interface. Then record treatments and charges details and give receipt to the patient. After this step all of data record in the ward, laboratory and etc. This all of the details is saved in the tables of database. When patient discharge, first select the patient name. Then final Bill is automatically created. This is my main final result in the project. The other result, get the past (history) details of the patient. If some patient wants his or her past treatments and charges details, she or he can get past details. Since all of the details are stored in the tables of the database. There is*used Linux (Red Hat 7.2) operating system. For this development used PHP and MySQL languages mainly. Also used HTML, Java Script for create interfaces. For generate connections between interfaces and the database used MySQL, PHP.
