Design And Implementation Of Database System For Patient Management System (a Case Study Of Delta Hospital Onitsha)

The study was carried out to verify all the manual processes involved in patient management system and to seek for a way of automating the system for effective operations.

Since, there is continuous moves towards technological advances that enhanced productivity of labour and free human beings of task done more economically by machines.  Computer n ts applications have become indispensable vital tools in economic, industrial and social development of the advanced countries of the world. Nigeria as a developing country cannot afford to lay too far behind in this kind of revolution.  Therefore there is every need to know in energy discipline the areas which attracts computerization and why they need it.

In this project, the software engineering principles were applied in the analysis, design, coding testing of software serious attention was also give to the design of the user interface.

In the development of the software, visual basic programming language was used due to its support for all the features desired.  A brief user’s guide is also provided.  The end result is a software that is very effective and efficient in meeting its objectives and at the same time user friendly.
