Centralized medical practice management software system
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to construct a centralized patient management system that would serve as a consolidated platform to provide an effective and efficient mechanism for patient management and means for availing various healthcare and health related services. The entire system is designed to streamline the patient management system by primarily targeting small and medium sized hospitals, diagnostic centres as well as individual practices of physicians by centralizing the process maintaining schedules, queues and appointments. Direct call ambulance service, locating nearest ER facilities, blood bank and pharmacy with respect to user location have also been encompassed to provide a holistic approach. Currently operations of these procedures are of an erratic where due to delays and other factors of inefficiency management services can neither be properly delivered nor availed. Using this system the patients can locate services which are best suited for their need, based on different criteria including specialty, location, queue and other aspects which are deemed to be of convenience. The service providers; such as doctors or their assistants, diagnostic centre staff, etc. can manage appointment schedule using the token system; patients can be made aware in real time of their current position in queue and be informed of delays or situations of cancellation.
