DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WEB-BASED HEALTH CARE RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The 'Web-based healthcare management framework' is a platform designed to perform multiple operations in hospitals. Healthcare facilities have been developing increasingly in recent years. Therefore, the need for effective administration of healthcare is also growing, through which different procedures are required for the treatment of patients in these institutions, Mountain Top University is the case study here. This initiative highlights the creation and development of a webbased Health Care Records Management system aimed at providing a database that stores and handles data from the Health Care Records Management system, and also provides a forum for handling such data from patients and workers rather than using the physical process, which is often considered to be stressful and not as reliable as the electronic method. By using an acceptable software development schedule, the approach used in this project work was completed. For the backend of this project, Java was used as the programming framework and for the database environment, Microsoft SQL. In addition, authentication requires the use of both username and password to allow the user to enter the portal of healthcare management. The results of this project led to the creation of an application that can now automatically handle some hospital procedures without the need for any physical application or the use of biro and paper for application, and therefore keeps the data secure. It was concluded that most healthcare providers would still find it stressful to run their institutions using the physical system rather than the automated method without adopting this requirement, and they would still struggle with record keeping, which will have to require providing huge files and a space to hold such documents.
