MEDICAL APPOINTMENT

BOOKING SYSTEM
  ABSTRACT
Medical appointment booking System in hospitals today has necessitated a competent
administration when handling patients, generating their reports for cashier, and patient
details which serves as a key factor for the flow of business transactions in IT savvy
hospitals. Unfortunately the current Record Management System leads to misplacement
of Patient details and doctors’ record of reports and consequent upon the insecurity to
these records. This research project is aimed at computerizing all the records about
patients, hospitals and doctors. In order to achieve this goal, a thorough System Study
and investigation was carried out and data was collected and analyzed about the current
system using document and data flow diagrams. The concept of report production has
been computerized hence, no more delay in report generation in the hospital about
patients and their doctors.
The method used to develop the system include use of dataflow diagram, logical and
entity relationship diagram. The language used for implementation is wordpress4.9.
  1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE CASE STUDY

University of Ilorin, also known as Unilorin, is a federal

government university located in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria.
It was established by a decree of the Federal Military Government in 1975,
and is a federal government owned tertiary institution of education located
in the Ilorin-South Local Government Area. The ancient city of Ilorin,
capital of Kwara State, is about 300 km from Lagos and 500 km from Abuja,
the country's administrative capital. The institution's land mass is among the
largest in Nigeria covering approximately 5000 hectares.
 1.4 Aims and Objectives
 Aim of this project is to create effective doctor medical appointment
booking system
 To Create Web based medical Doctor Appointment management
system.
 To manage all patients related information.
 To provide emergency information in critical situation.
  5.1 Summary

As discussed in the previous chapters the main problem that we addressed was
dealing with patient, doctor and hospital records. This program is develop to handle
medical Appointment booking System for Patients, Doctors/medical personnel and
Hospitals, to enable them to handle details on policies efficiently. The Project has
implemented most of the objectives stipulated in earlier chapter. Medical
Appointment booking System offers a number of benefits to the user and can
capture data, store, view, add and delete records in database and also post
information to the database.
  5.3 Conclusions

The main reason for the establishment of computerizing Medical Appointment Booking System is to enable
the hospital administrators manage medical appointment in a convenient, fair and timely manner.
Therefore the IT used should support the main objective of the system if it is to remain relevant to the
hospital. A lot still needs to be done in the IT department in order to make available technology effective.
This may involve training of the hospital staffs on how to enter data to the system and also management
need to keep updating the hardware and software requirements of the system.

The researcher acknowledges the fact that this system does not handle all patient doctor and hospital
information. The researcher therefore suggests that for further research, the following can be researched on,
the most cost effective way of handling all Hospital Patient management system process.
  5.4 Recommendations

This system is recommended for the use at home, so that each individual can book
appointment with the doctor, and therefore be conscious of the time when the
doctor is available.
