Design and implementation of an online healthcare system

Description

Abstract The purpose of this study is to design and implement an online healthcare system for General Hospital Minna. Healthcare services rendered to outpatient and can be defined as a patient who receives medical treatment without being admitted to a hospital. It is a patient who is not hospitalized for 24 hours or more but who visits a hospital, clinic or associated facility for diagnosis or treatment. The combination of PHP, MYSQL and MACROMEDIA DREAMWEAVER was chosen for this project. The online outpatient database system offers functionalities to quick access to patient records. It also provides management with timely, confidential and secure medical reports that facilitate planning and decision making and hence improves medical service delivery. To achieve these objectives we proposed a new method for entering and storing patient data. The nurse ensures a patient for the doctor, views the patient’s history, diagnose and makes prescriptions based on the patient’s symptoms, this is based on the database for further reference and improving data security.
