ABSTRACT
It has always been an issue
that most veterinary hospitals do not have efficient methods of handling data
for patients. There are often cases where the doctors offer wrong or repeated
medication for a patient mostly because they do not have a standard record
keeping facility that allows them to follow up a patient’s medical record from
registration to discharge as well as check-up visits. It is in the light of
this problem that the needs for strong, efficient, error-free and
cost-effective methods of record keeping have to be brought into place. This
project is the design and implementation of a web application for Veterinary
Hospitals. The objective of this project is to provide a reliable record
keeping facility for both medical practitioners and patients alike, provide a
means for monitoring patient medical behavior in order to make for easy
diagnosis and medical analysis, and improve the overall working experience of
the Veterinary Hospital staff by making information management cost effective
and easy on the long run. The programming languages used in this design are
HTML (Hypertext markup language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), SQL (Structured
Query Language), PHP (Personal Homepage) and Javascript. It allows medical
practitioners and staff to have a profile (by registration) on the portal and
register patients as well. Doctors have access to edit patient medical data and
add new data for each visit while the ordinary staff does not. In the end, all
the patient needs is a hospital card in order to track the patient id, all
other information regarding the patient’s business with the hospital is already
known because it is stored in the database.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Veterinary
medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in non-human animals.
As a branch of medicine, it is necessary for the doctors to take active part in
ensuring that the patients are well taken care-of and well followed up with
respect to illnesses, diagnosis and the prescription of drugs. To do this, they
often need an efficient management system in their clinics or hospitals that
would keep track of the daily visits and returning visits of patients and the
progress made in the treatment of the illnesses. This project aims at building
an efficient, flexible, versatile web-based intranet for the patient management
of veterinary hospitals and clinics.
1.1 STATEMENT OF
THE PROBLEM
In
most hospitals, it is often ambiguous, time consuming and exhausting with
respect to the issue of patient management and follow-up. This is due to the
following issues;
-
Loss of patient data: Patient data is
sometimes kept in physical storage file which get worn-out over a long period
of time and get prone to wear and tear. Also, there is the issue of document
losses which occur periodically.
-
Time Cost: Most hospitals receive more
than 200 patients daily. And each patient has a file dedicated to him / her.
Having to write to these physical files everyday can be time consuming. Also,
in a case where the patient re-visits, sorting out files is often a time
consuming fact and also energy draining.
-
Space: Physical files need physical
space for storage, this physical storage space is often not available and often
limited. As a result, there is often the need to create a complete apartment
for the storage of these files, which, in the long run, is often not enough.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The
objective of this study is to achieve the following;
-
An efficient, light and portable means
of storing patient data in veterinary hospitals.
-
An efficient method of communication
between the various divisions in a hospital with respect to the treatment and
transfer of patients from one department to another.
-
To reduce the time cost of processing
data. With a database management facility, the issues of sorting, searching and
traversing manually comes to an abrupt end. Database management systems have
very fast means of searching for data using keywords and identity keys. Such of
which is not possible with manual technology.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
This
project is significant in the sense that it revolutionizes the patient
management systems in veterinary hospitals, it will make communication faster
and much easier, it will make data processing much more efficient and less
prone to errors, it will allow one to treat each patient as a separate entity
instead of being a part. If efficient, it could also be used in human hospital
management systems as well as other areas where personnel data and activity
management is involved; places like schools, industries, offices etc.
