THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
In today’s modern age where computer has become a way of life, it is evidentthat a majority of the country’s institutions still do not adapt the high technology.Particularly in most medical clinic facilities, daily clinic transactions are still done onpaper.We all know that modern clinics are now operating at great pace striving toserve as many patients as possible with the best of their abilities.But as the yearsrolled by, the number of patients has grown and various medical cases arise that themanual method of managing patients’ records, prescriptions, billing and appointmentschedule, is no longer practical.
In this study, we hope to develop a web-based application that will minimize allpaper works and manual records keeping, therefore allowing doctors and staff ease inkeeping track of patients, reducing patients’ waiting time and increasing the number ofpatients served – a system that is fully automated, user-friendly, time effective andefficient.
Background of the Study
