Abstract

The main aim of the Diagnostic Center project is to develop a system for storing the information about different tests for patients in a hospital or a clinic. By using internet, the user can access the diagnostic center project. It is an internet based web application. This project is user friendly, completely menu driven and it works very efficiently.

Description

This project can be used to maintain the information related to the lab details. It gives the information about the various tests for patients and purchase section. By using this project, the user can generate the reports in different formats. Hence, generated reports are useful in tactic and strategic decision-making.  It will automate the Lab Management System. This project can be used to make billing of the products with error-free information and maximum user-interaction.

The diagnostic project is developed using Visual Basic as front end and MS-Access as back end. This project can handle the computerization of the system. It will reduce the time consumption and maximizes the efficiency of system. It is easy to use and works very efficiently. We developed the diagnostic project in the Windows 98 operating system.

The various departments of a hospital are given below:

• Diagnostic center
• Emergency ward
• Inpatient department
• Outpatient department
• Intensive care units
• Operation theatres
• Nursing stations
• Patient room management
• Pharmacies
• Billing counter
• Mortuary & Ambulance
• Training departments
• Central drug stores
• Staff management

Each department of hospital has its own manager. It also contains few employees to maintain its operations. All employees of hospital should make the data entry, else they can’t fulfill their duties with appropriate inputs. They are trained to use the health care software provided by the hospital management.

Proposed System

The proposed system provides an executive overview and it is client-oriented. It fulfills the performance and quality requirements of the application. Also, it provides a solid definition of the interface. It describes the functional and data requirements of the application. It will make the list of the assumptions, disadvantages and dependencies of the application.

The computerization of this system minimizes the wrong calculation of data and wrong interpretation. By using this system, the user can view the documents, tasks, activities, source code and team information with details. He can view all these details by clicking a button. This application will maintain and backup the record data very efficiently. So, there is no loss of data. Also, the speed of the system is increased.
