Developing a System for Inward Hospital Patient Management

Abstract

This document is submitted to present the detailed description on the project, which I underwent at the work site of ID Systems (Pvt) Ltd in Kandy.I was trained under this project 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, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. This project is a team effort and I took part in this project from the designing of the technical specifications. 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 according to the way it is expected to be completed. The project objective is to develop a user-friendly Hospital Inward 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 below given steps were followed. > Defining the requirements of the system and get the approval for it from the Hospital. > Designing the technical specifications (Table definitions, Table normalization) > Develop the software Hospital weather private or governments do not maintain patients’ records in a systematic way. Mostly this is done manually and many situations, these records are either misplaced or lost. The purpose of this project is to develop a computer software t keep track of patients in hospital and to maintain these records for further reference. Also the System provides inward patient billing, receipting and channeling. This system is making for any hospital within changing simple operation and to use the system. This system is developed keeping in mind the further trends. It provides facilities for E-comers and Intranet access. The front-end of the software is developed using HTML and Java scripts. The back-end used PHP, MySQL is used to maintain and administer the database. Finally the development is done on the Linux platform.
