We will design -
you develop it

This project is different from the

other projects we have listed in

this site. We want you

to do the project yourself this

time. We will provide you the

architecture and design of the

project.

You have to follow the guidelines

and do the development yourself. We believe this is the

best training we can provide you.

Patient Information System (PIS) - Introduction

This software can be used to keep track of the patients registering in a hospital or clinic. Also, this

system

supports accessing the previous visit histories of any patient, search for patients by name and other

properties etc.

Patient Information System - Requirements

 Users of this software can search for patients by name, admission date, discharge date etc

 Users can view the previous visit histories of any patient

 System can maintain the list of doctors in the hospital

 PIS can maintain the list of beds/rooms available in the hospital

 Patients are categorised into "In Patients" and "Out Patients"

Designing the Patient Information System

The first step is to identify the different entities in the system. The following entities are identified

in our PIS :

 Patient - a patient is the person who visit the hospital for treatment/consultation

 Doctor - a doctor will be assigned to each patient.

 Bed - if patient type is "In Patient", a bed will be assigned to the user.

 Visit - a patient can visit the hospital any number of times.

Database design

You can choose SQL Server or MS Access as the database for this project.

Let us design a table corresponding to each entity so that we can save those entities.

Table Name : Patient

When a new patient arrives in a hospital and register, we will add a record to this table. A patient

will have only one record in this table.

Fields :
 Field Name Type

Id Auto Number

Name varchar (50)

Address varchar (255)

DateOfBirth DateTime

Phone varchar (20)

EmergencyContact varchar (255)

DateOfRegistration DateTime

Table Name : Doctor

This is a master table, where we maintain the list of all available

doctors in the hospital.

Fields :

Field Name Type

Id Auto Number

Name varchar (50)

Address varchar (255)

Phone varchar (20)

Table Name : Bed

This is a master table where maintain the list of all beds (rooms) in the hospital. Before we start

assigning a bed to a patient, we must have created all available beds in the hospital.

Fields :

Field Name Type

Id Auto Number

BedName varchar (50)

BedType varchar (50)

Table Name : Visit

This is a detail table where we create a record for each visit of each patient.

Fields :

Field Name Type Remarks

Id Auto Number

PatientType Number 0 - In patient, 1 - Out Patient

For each visit, a doctor will be assigned to the

If the patient type is "In Patient", a bed will be

The date on which the patient visited the

Date on which patient is discharged from the

DateofDischarge DateTime hospital. If the patient type is "Out Patient",

DateofDischarge will be same as DateofVisit

Symptoms varchar (1000) The symptoms of the patient

Disease varchar (1000) Disease identified by the doctor.

Treatment varchar (1000) Treatment suggested by the doctor.

Symptoms, Disease and Treatment are sensitive information. In most of the cases, this information

will not be saved into Patient Information System. You can remove those fields if you don't them to

be

part of the system.

User Interface design

Screen Details

This screen uses a data grid to display the list of

registered patients. User can enter the partial name of

Patient List a patient to filter the list of patients by name. Also, it

should be possible to filter patients by

DateofRegistration.

Patient Registration This screen allows to add/edit patient registration
