Interlinked Hospital Management System

An Interlinked Hospitals Management System is a unique web-based health management system that links all the hospitals operating in the country for efficient hospital management operations. The motivation behind this work is to overcome the challenges experience in the hospitals day to day operations, especially to obtain historical records of patient at any hospital during emergency case (s) treatment. This is achieved by proper capturing of data, storage, retrieval, and management of information (involving medical diagnostic history and billings) that can cope with numerous patients, reducing paper work burden of manual system and aimed at improving health care system. The framework of this system development was designed and implemented using the functional requirements gathered from the problem definitions and analysis. The methodology used was Rapid Application Development (RAD). The front-end programming developing tool utilized JavaFx, HTML, CSS, JavaScript while the PHP, XAMPP Server Engine at the back-end, and Biometric Fingerprint Technology. The system was successfully implemented on Windows 7 operating system. The results was tested and the developed web solution can capture data input, storage, retrieval, and enable hospitals to access any patients medical historical record from a unified interface. Thus emergency can be handled. Therefore this yields a great improvement in the hospitals information keeping and management towards quality of patients care.
