1.5 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The main objective of this study is to develop a computerised management system. Others include;
i. To provide total asset visibility.
ii. To allow high levels in giving full patient history.
iii. To reduce lead time, shelf space, and errors due to damage, fatigue of staff .
iv. To facilitate “just in time†deliveries.
v. To provide full process control for the patient.
vi. To provide higher level security as the system would be passworded to prevent unauthorised access.
vii. To shorten cross docking time and speeds up sort/pick up rate.
viii. To help the management plan, monitor, optimize resources and ascertain their financial position at any time.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of the project covers the development of a computer based database application for use by the these sections (patient state of health,bill payment and address ) at the general hospital to replace their old paper notebook recording system.
The requirements include designing a user interface for the application and providing options for a user to log into the application by supplying the correct username and password combination; register new patient and view a list of already registered patient; to keep records of out patient and in-patient in the hospital; view patient registered on the database; admitted, discharge, bill patient etc. It also covers writing the background programming to ensure that the interface works with the database through the underlying codes to perform the required actions. It also involves the testing, improvement and optimization of the application.
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS
MEDICAL RECORDS: It is the records that spell out the patient’s illness and treatment during a particular period for out patients and inpatients.
OUT PATIENTS: Any person who goes to receive treatment in the Hospital but does not stay overnight.
WARD: A section in the hospital where inpatient stays and receives treatment on regular bases.
INPATIENTS: A patient staying and receiving treatment in the hospital.
1.8 PROJECT REPORT ORGANIZATION
This report is organized into five chapters. The first chapter takes care of introduction: background, aims and objectives, justification and scope of the project. Chapter two surveys the literature review of this work. In chapter three, the project methodology, data collection, analysis, limitations of the existing system, system design, system flowchart and top down design were done. The input, processing and output modules are critically analysed.
In chapter four, system implementation, testing and integration: choice of development tools, system requirements, and testing were carefully done. Finally chapter five closes up with summary, recommendations and conclusions: limitation, Bill of Engineering Measurement and Engineering (BEME), bibliography, appendices
