DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED OUT-PATIENT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR A CLINIC

ABSTRACT

This research work shows us the potential benefits we may obtain from the computerization of the out-patient information system of the Hansa Clinic Enugu. The out-patient department otherwise called OPD is a place where the out-patient that is patients that receive treatment at the clinic without staying overnight, wait for the doctors to attend to them.

This manual operation of the outpatient information system is normally stressful. But when it is being computerized it will reduce the stress among those working in the out-patient department.

To reduce the stress we use computers which has a great capacity for processing information to work.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

Chapter one presents the information of the work.

The chapter two is the literature review

The chapter three and chapter four are the Depreciation and analysis of an existing system and design of the new system and design the new system respectively.

While the chapter five and six are the implementation of the new system and documentation respectively.

Recommendations and conclusion are presented in the last chapters, which is the chapter seven.
