Abstract:
The project focused on developing and implementing a hospital management system (HMS)
aimed at addressing inefficiencies in manual hospital processes. Utilizing various technologies,
including UML for system analysis, XAMPP for database creation, and PHP, a widely-used
server-side scripting language for web development, the system was designed to streamline
administrative tasks. PHP, embedded within HTML, facilitated dynamic web pages interacting
with databases to manage essential operations such as patient data, appointments, billing, and
staff management. It also handled critical tasks like processing forms, managing sessions, and
sending notifications. For front-end development, HTML and JavaScript were used, with
JavaScript frameworks employed to enhance back-end functionality. The HMS was designed
to eliminate paperwork, improve resource management, and ensure high-quality patient services,
data management, and operational efficiency.
Upon implementation, the system achieved significant improvements, notably reducing patient
registration and appointment processing times, thus enhancing hospital workflows. It also
improved transparency in billing, ensuring fairness and accountability in medical services and
payments. Data accuracy, accessibility, and real-time monitoring of patient records were greatly
improved, with seamless integration into hospital regulatory frameworks.
In conclusion, the adoption of the Hospital Management System proved highly beneficial,
streamlining hospital operations, reducing administrative burdens, and ensuring regulatory
compliance. The system notably enhanced efficiency, transparency, and communication between
medical staff, patients, and administrative bodies, leading to faster response times and better
patient outcomes.
Recommendations include continued updates to adapt to evolving healthcare regulations and
technological advancements. Close collaboration with medical regulatory authorities and
stakeholders is advised to ensure interoperability and smooth integration of new system features.
Rigorous testing was performed to ensure the system met the hospital's operational needs and
delivered expected results.
