Abstract

Eyes can be treated as one of the most important parts of the human body. People are very much bothered when they encounter eye related health problems. National eye hospital is the prime national body which comes to one’s mind when it comes to an issue related to eyes in Sri Lanka. But, it is apparent that stakeholders of National eye hospital are not well benefited by existing manual management practices of the hospital which are unproductive. The existing manual system in hospital is not patient supportive since it leads to unnecessary time wasting of patients. Administrative staff of the hospital often suffers from with data related issues such as loss of data and data redundancy of clinical patients. Doctors find it difficult to obtain most critical and updated medical information of patients on timely manner. All those concerns have resulted in making an additional workload on people. The prime objective of this research project is to overcome above issues by developing a web based Patient’s Record Management System which adds values to stakeholders of the hospital. This system has been developed on a web based platform using PHP and MySQL and Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 has been used in designing the system. The system can facilitate administrative staff of the hospital with updated patient data managing and processing methods which are very safe, convenient and time saving. Furthermore, patient details can be seared faster. The system helps doctors become more productive as the system allows doctors to access all the necessary and updated information refer to patients. The project has been centered on design and implementing of this state-of-the-art trilingual web based Patient’s Record Management System, which provides an integrated holistic view of patient data among doctors, nurses and other authorized personnel.
