Medical Dental Record Keeping System
INTRODUCTION
Medical and Dental Personnel collect all the records from the patient’s information and endowed with a graphical report to be presented to the School Administration and to the Students Affair Services every quarter.
The school clinic is exclusively for school personnel faculty, staff and students. One of the problems of the school clinic is the monitoring. There are times that some outsider come into the clinic and ask for a medicine not knowing if they are students because they just let them logged in and they not checked the school ID.
An Electronic Medical/Dental Record (EMR/EDR) is an electronic record of health-related information on an individual within one health care institution, such as a health center that provides the method for data storage and access. A motivation for health care providers to implement this technology derives from the need for medical outcome studies, more efficient care, speedier communication among providers and management of health plans. The suggested system improves the functionality of the Health Clinic.

- The system should be adopted by the school clinic to improve their productivity.
- Additional reports can also be added for future development.
- The graphical features can also be used in developing different system for different research (e.g. population growth rate).
