 Statement of problem
 Objective
 Scope and limitation
 Methodology
 Feasibility Study
 Significance of the Project
1. Introduction 3
 A patient appointment is done in traditional way in many

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
hospitals by using paper works.

 Lengthy waiting times for registering and booking an

appointment to see a doctor is challenging in Ethiopia,
particularly in government hospitals.

 Also, missed healthcare appointments are the main cause of

preventable incompetence that affects a patient’s wellbeing
and medication results.
Cont… 4
 There is no machinery to notice patients when appointments are

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
deferred or canceled.

 Our project is a will be work process at Salam Hospital. Salam

Hospital is one of the best hospitals in the Gedo zone.

 Currently selam hospital very special than other clink and dilla
hospital because card system is digital and computerized,

 but Their patient appointment system is manual, that means

someone must be go and physical contact with doctor.

 so our plan to change this patient appointment system in online

system by using web on any browser to register and contact him
doctor by secured way.
 2. Statement of Problem 5

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
The following are some problems in the current system.

 Lack of security(data is collected manually so it is less

secure)

 Data is not easily accessible.

 Cost in terms of money and time was high.

 Remotely not accessible.

 Highly vulnerable to damage.

 Workload due to physical contact of patient and doctor.

3. Objective 6

3.1 General Objective

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
 The main objective of our project is to develop Web based
patient appointment for clinic or hospital.

3.2 Specific Objective

In order to achieve the main objective we have the following
specific objective
 To identify the problem of existing system, by gathering system
requirements for the proposed system

 To design a system that solves existing problem

 To model and develop proposed system

4. Scope and limitation 7

4.1 Scope
The following points are scopes of our project

 Appointment reminder/alarm
 user account management.

 history

 Writing and viewing comments.

 Search appointment.
4.2 Limitation 8

There is some limitations may be when we will

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
implement this project.
 shortage of time

 Economical problem

 Lack of access to advanced instruments

 Lack of member communication

5. Methodology 9

5.2 System Analysis and Design

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
Methodology
 Here for the analysis of our project we have selected object-
oriented system analysis and design method model.

 We have selected this because of the following advantages:

 To simplify the design and implementation of complex

program
Cont… 11

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
To make it easier for teams of designers and
programmers to work in a single software project.

 To enable a high degree of reusability of the designs and

software codes.

 To decrease the cost of software maintenance

5.3 System Development Model

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
 Based on users’ specific needs, requirements, and project
characteristics the system development model we will use in
our project is iteration method.

 In the Iterative model, iterative process starts with a simple

implementation of a small set of the software requirements
and iteratively enhances

 the evolving versions until the complete system is

implemented and ready to be deployed.

5.4 Implementation Methodology

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
 When implementing a patient appointment system,

 it is essential to follow a structured methodology to ensure

the successful development, deployment, and adoption of the
system.

 By following a structured implementation methodology and

involving key stakeholders throughout the process,

 we try to ensure the successful implementation of a patient

appointment system that meets the needs of healthcare
providers, staff, and patients.

5.5 Development Environment And Programming Tools

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
Here are some commonly used development environments and programming

tools for building a patient appointment system:

1. Development Environment:

 Integrated Development Environment (IDE): Xamp provide

a comprehensive set of tools for coding, debugging, and testing

applications.

 Text Editors: Visual Studio Code is popular choice for writing

code and customizing the development environment.

2. Programming Languages:
 Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (bootstrap) for building
the user interface of the patient appointment system.

 Backend: PHP, to handle appointment scheduling, data

storage, and logic system.

3. Database Management:

 Relational Databases: we will use MySQL for storing patient

information, appointment schedules, and related data.

patient appointment system
methodology
System testing methodology for a patient appointment system
can include

Requirements
Analysiss Test Planning Test Case Design

Test Environment Performance

Test Execution
Setup Testing

Security Testing Usability Testing

Test Reporting
6. Feasibility Study 17
 Technical feasibility

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
the system is supported by exiting technology, there are technical
guarantees for the system and it provides adequate response to
queries made by users.

 Schedule feasibility

We will have team responsibility to do each steps for the system by

time schedule so we can finish the proposed system within four
month, therefore the system is time feasible.

 Operation feasibility

is refers to does the proposal system meet the organization’s

operating requirements.
Cont… 18

 Economical feasibility

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
The development cost in creating the system is evaluated against
the ultimate benefit derived from the new systems

 Legal feasibility

The proposed system does have any controversial issues,

does it have any considerations which oppose the
governmental and institutional rules and regulations.
7. Significance of the Project 19

04/02/2024
patient appointment system
Here are some key reasons why the project is significant:

 Minimize work load of employee

 Reduce tiredness and trouble of the patient

 Giving complete service for the patient through web-

based system

 Reduce the manual work, time and cost to be consumed.

 Reduce more cost spending on papers and some other

materials needed for the whole entire system.

 Reduce more cost spending on papers and some other
materials needed for the whole entire system.

 Improving accuracy of file management system.

 Provide online access for patient.

 Patient can view how much time remind for appointment.

 By investing in a robust and user-friendly appointment

system, organizations can drive positive outcomes for both
patients and providers while advancing the quality of care
delivery.
