Introduction

I have designed a system to be used in a medical centre. The medical centre at the moment uses a paper based system to store all its patients’ details. The system is not able to cope with a dramatic increase of patients so will then require a computerised system to cope with the increase. The increase is due to a home estate being built in the village which will increase patient numbers. The system consists of some basic functions which are-

  • The patient details – Which will include things such as the name, address, date of birth, telephone number and primary doctor.

  • The staff details – this will include information such as staff code, name, address, phone number and also their role.

  • The treatment details – this will include information such as patient ID, the date visited to the surgery, staff code and also the treatment which was received.

I have included a few extra features to make processing information quicker such as-

  • When a name or number of patient is given, the patient’s details will be bought up and also allows updates of their details.
  • The system will print details of patients who have this doctor as primary doctor.
  • Insert details of the new patients; delete existing patients.
  • Insert staff details.

By making this modification the system is able to store much more information than a paper based system. The system has been extended with the extra features as a basic system will just store patient details. I have built the system so that it is easy to navigate through for the user. I have used the forms in Microsoft access to produce the navigation forms.

Set of major screen shots and reports

 In this section I will show all the major screen shots of the main screens which are used in the system. I will also show the reports which I have required in the system such as the details of patients with a particular primary doctor and the patients who have been prescribed different medication by particular doctors.
