St. Joseph Hospital Online Event System
According to Stewart, David in late 1972 states that the St. Joseph Hospital holds community events such as lectures, classes, support groups and fundraising socials. The staff had only a manual system for notifying interested parties that new events were scheduled. Additionally, enrollment in such events was handled via 2-4 people on staff who had to fit scheduling into the many other tasks of any given day. Attendance was poorly tracked and payment for classes often fell through the cracks. Needless to say, the staff was exhausted and the management unhappy with the complexity of organizing a community event.
With successful projects such as the Content Management System and the Online Gift Shop completed, St Joseph Hospital sought Scorpion Healthcare to create a system that helped them easily manage all aspects of event planning: scheduling, enrollment, payment processing and attendance.
Using Microsoft’s .NET platform, Scorpion Healthcare quickly developed a fully functioning event system. The event system was integrated with their website and provided visitors an electronic method for the enrollment and management of events that interested them. When the project was completed, St. Joseph Hospital noted a substantial reduction in the man hours required to host an event. Employees were happier that their focus could be placed on more pressing issues, and management was thrilled that enrollment fees were up while costs were reduced.

This Online Event system shows the flow of information in the respective hospital and using Microsoft’s Net platform. The staff had only a manual system for notifying interested parties that new events were scheduled but later on, Scorpion Healthcare create a system that helped them easily manage all aspects of event planning: scheduling, enrollment, payment processing and attendance. Online Platform for Information Dissemination is applicable only for students and faculty and staff. We formulated the system using PHP, HTML language and MySQL database creating a functional and productive website to encourage students to impart their ideas through feedback.

Bulletin board system (BBS)
According to Scott, Justin in 1998 Bulletin Board System (BBS) is a computer or an application dedicated to the sharing or exchange of messages or other files on a network. Originally an electronic version of the type of bulletin board found in the work places, the BBS was used to post simple messages between users.
A BBS may be accessible from a dial-up modem, TELNET, or the Internet. Because it originated before the graphical user interface (GUI) became prevalent, the BBS interface was text-based. Although recent Web-based versions have a graphical, interactive user interface, the text-only interface preferred by BBS purists can often be accessed by Telnet. Most BBS’s are devoted to a particular subject, although some are more general in nature. A significant number of BBS sites offer “adult-oriented” chat and images that can be downloaded. The BBS is often free, although some charge a membership or use fee. Many BBS’s have Web sites, and many Internet access providers have bulletin board systems from which new Internet users can download the necessary software to get connected. Online chat became widely popular through the BBS and many chat acronyms originated there.
The first BBS, called the Computerized Bulletin Board System (CBBS), was created in 1978 by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess. When CBBS went online, it became the first computer-based community, other than timesharing systems. An article by Christensen and Suess published in Byte magazine described CBBS and outlined the technology they had used to develop it, sparking the creation of many tens of thousands of BBSes all over the world

The Bulletin Board System is a computer or an application dedicated to the sharing or exchange of messages or other files on a network. It is also used to post simple messages between users and may be accessible from a dial-up modem, TELNET, or the Internet. Information Board System is capable of sharing and exchanging related messages to the event accessible via internet just like the Bulletin Board System. Online chat is not included in our system and it is the difference of the BBS from Information Board System.
Recommendation
After the foregoing findings and conclusions the researchers gathered all the recommendations about the system as follows:
- The School may consider implementing the system to help the users in terms of posting announcements and reduction of expenses in dissemination of announcements.
- Implementation of the system will help to promote and encourage the students to participate in activities and other important announcement posted.
- It is also recommended that the system meet the needs of the students in terms of interactivity, organized, secured and usefulness of the system.
