DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTER BASED ATTENDANCE SCHEME FOR PATIENTS

ABSTRACT

This project is written to help hospitals especially UNTH ITUKU OZALA hospital Enugu in the areas they encounter problems in keeping their attendance scheme for patients and the solution given to tackle those problems such as transforming the existing manual attendance scheme for patients system to new computerized attendance scheme for patients system. The project dwell more on Computer Based Attendance Scheme for Patients. This is to ensure that every nurse comply with her duty schedule. This is implemented with visual basic programming language and Microsoft Access for effective duty roster information keeping.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK
