1.1 Background of the Study

The goal of any system development is to develop and implement the system cost effectively; userfriendly and most suited to the users analysis is the heart of the process. Analysis is the study of the various operations performed by the system and their relationship within and outside of the system. During analysis, data collected on the files, decision points and transactions handled by the present system. Krishna medical center, luck now K. M. C. is a prestigious hospital situated in the heart of Hazrat Genj with a very large patient capacity. This number is increasing at a rapid pace with each passing day. The management of the hospital is concerned with the increasing effort in keeping records of the patient and recording their activities. Health is generally said to be wealth. It takes healthy people to generate the wealth the nation requires for the general wellbeing of its people. There is therefore the need for adequate Medicare especially in the area of diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Since there is a good relationship between the job output and health of the workers, a good Medicare is vital.

Unfortunately, in most developing nation including Nigeria, this adequate Medicare is lacking due to how standard of technological knowhow and manual handling of most medical problems. As observed by Lyiama H.C. and D.C. Chukwu, very often, people in developing countries who are critically ill are rushed abroad for special treatment because it is felt that Medicare facilities at home are inadequate.
