DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PATIENT CARE SYSTEM

ABSTRACT
This work provides a basic introduction on the use of computer in medical practice aimed at computerized patient care management system and its related processes at the Hansa clinic Enugu. It also identifies the procedure, process and tasks involved in the installing a computerized diagnostic system in the establishment which is operating a full manual system and the impact of such shift. The problem of efficiency, effectiveness and scientific methods of processing data in any organization is very important and the application of computer in the search for solution is very essential. A computerized medical diagnosis system which this project work addresses is made up of the software (intelligence) and hardware (computer) capable of carrying out diagnostic and prescription undertaking by the doctor for patient care. This is made possible by artificially impacting the knowledge of human expert (medical Doctor) to the system using specific logically related coding formats. This system just like the doctor takes a patient through series of questions and answer sessions during which it record the symptoms of a particular ailment. It can diagnose the disease and present prescriptions all with a view of presenting the patient with swift medical attention for quickest recovery possible.
