System Architecture Diagram
Here's a simplified architecture of the Hospital Management System:

Diagram Explanation

1. Patient Interface: This is the front-end where patients interact with the system. They
can register, schedule appointments, and view their medical records.

2. HMS Backend API: This acts as a bridge between the user interface and the
database. It handles requests from the patient and admin interfaces and
communicates with the database to retrieve or store data.
 3. Database Layer: The core component where all data is stored. It includes tables for
patient information, appointment details, billing records, and inventory
management.

4. Admin Interface: This is used by hospital staff to manage the system. Admins can
view reports, manage doctor schedules, and oversee billing and inventory.

Use Case Diagram:

Illustrates the interactions between actors (e.g., doctors, patients) and the
system, detailing actions such as patient registration, examination, and
discharge processes.

The use case diagram for the hospital management system shows the actors:

 Doctor
 Patient

and their defined use cases:

 Doctor
o Visit the patient
o Examine the patient
 Add diagnoses
 Prescribe drugs
 Schedule the medical procedure
o Discharge the patient
o Report the patient condition
 Patient
o Register
o Unregister
o Apply for discharge
o Confirm the medical procedure
Class Diagram:

 Confirm the schedule

Collaboration Diagram:

A Collaboration Diagram (also known as a Communication Diagram) is a type of UML (Unified

Modeling Language) diagram that shows how objects interact with each other within a system. It
focuses on the relationships and interactions between objects, emphasizing the flow of messages
between them.

Key Elements of a Collaboration Diagram:

1. Objects: Represented by rectangles, these are the entities involved in the interaction (e.g.,
patient, doctor, nurse).
 2. Links: Lines connecting the objects, showing the relationships between them.
3. Messages: Arrows on the links, indicating the flow of information or control between the
objects.

Example in a Hospital Management System

1. Income to Registration:
o Objects: Patient, Receptionist, Registration System.
o Flow:
 Patient arrives and interacts with the Receptionist.
 Receptionist enters patient details into the Registration System.
 Registration System confirms registration and provides patient ID.
2. Income to Ward to Reports:
o Objects: Patient, Nurse, Doctor, Diagnostic System, Report System.
o Flow:
 Patient is admitted to the ward and interacts with the Nurse.
 Nurse updates patient status in the system.
 Doctor orders diagnostic tests via the Diagnostic System.
 Diagnostic System processes tests and sends results to the Report
System.
 Report System generates and provides the final report to the Doctor
and Patient.

Example Diagram:

 Objects: Patient, Receptionist, Registration System, Nurse, Doctor, Diagnostic System, Report
System.
 Links:
o Patient ↔ Receptionist
o Receptionist ↔ Registration System

o Diagnostic System processes tests.
o Report System generates report.

Activity Diagram:
An activity diagram is a type of UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram that visually represents
the flow of activities or actions in a system. It shows the sequence of steps involved in a process,
including decision points and parallel activities. In a Hospital Management System, an activity
diagram helps illustrate how different users (like admin, doctors, patients, and nurses) interact with
the system and perform their tasks.
 1. Admin:
o Manages the overall system.
o Handles user accounts, permissions, and system settings.
o Oversees hospital operations and ensures compliance with policies.
2. Doctor:
o Accesses patient records and updates medical histories.
o Prescribes treatments and medications.
o Schedules and manages appointments.
3. Patient:

o Books appointments and communicates with healthcare providers.
o Receives notifications and reminders for appointments and medications.
4. Nurse:
o Assists doctors with patient care.
o Updates patient records with vital signs and observations.
o Manages medication administration and patient schedules.

Each role has specific functionalities tailored to their needs, ensuring efficient and effective
hospital management.

Component Diagram:

A Component Diagram is a type of UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram that shows
the organization and dependencies among a set of components in a system. It helps in
visualizing the high-level structure of the system, including both software and hardware
components, and how they interact with each other.
In the context of a Hospital Management System, a component diagram might include:

 Software Components: Modules like patient management, appointment scheduling, billing,

and medical records.
 Hardware Components: Servers, databases, and network devices.

Key Elements of a Component Diagram:

1. Components: Represented as rectangles with the component name inside. These are the
main parts of the system, such as the patient management system or the billing system.
2. Interfaces: Represented by small circles or lollipops. These show how components interact
with each other.
3. Dependencies: Represented by dashed arrows. These indicate that one component relies on
another.

Example:

 Doctor Interface: Allows doctors to access patient records and update medical information.
 Database Server: Stores all the data related to patients, doctors, and hospital operations.
State Diagram:

A State Diagram is a type of UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram that shows the different
states an object or system can be in and how it transitions from one state to another. It helps in
understanding the dynamic behavior of the system by illustrating the states and the events that
cause transitions between these states.

Key Elements of a State Diagram:

1. States: Represented by rounded rectangles, these are the conditions or situations during the
life of an object.
2. Transitions: Represented by arrows, these show the movement from one state to another.
3. Events: Triggers that cause a transition from one state to another.
Example in a Hospital Management System:

1. Register:
o State: User is not registered.
o Transition: User submits registration form.
o New State: User is registered.
2. Login:
o State: User is registered but not logged in.
