The development and implementation of the system will efficiently streamline the hospital’s daily transactions from recording patient’s information, doctor appointments up to the billing of patients. The implementation of the system will eliminate all manual errors, effectively manage hospital operations, improve patient satisfaction by providing quality healthcare and other advantages. The system will improve the overall hospital’s functioning.
Introduction
The capstone project, “Hospital Management System in Django” is designed for hospital management automation. The system will streamline and automate the process of conducting the hospital’s daily transactions from patients, doctor appointments up to generating bills of patients.
Managing a hospital is a complex job, it involves the management of different activities daily such as recording doctor’s and patient’s information, admission and discharges records of patients, scheduling appointments, generate billing and invoices, and other hospital-related management matters. Conventionally, these are processed separately and manually. Without hospital management automation, the hospital administrators and staff will encounter difficulties in managing hospital matters that will slow their service. The pre-existing system of management hinders the hospital to provide better and quality healthcare services to the stakeholders. The hospital cannot fully optimize its operations to better serve its purpose.
Proposed Solution
To address the need for hospital management automation, the researchers proposed the development of the Hospital Management System in Django. The system will automate the management of the hospital’s many vital daily processes. The software will allow hospital administrators and staff to electronically record doctor’s and patient’s information, admission and discharge records of patients, scheduling of appointments, generate billing and invoices, and other hospital-related management matters. The said project will also cover the services that unify and simplify the work of healthcare professionals as well as their interactions with patients. The project will transform hospital management to be more efficient in providing healthcare services.
