The document discusses a proposed hospital management system (HMS) that would replace a hospital's existing manual paper-based systems. The objectives are to remove inconsistencies and control critical information like patient information, room availability, staff schedules, and operating room schedules. The design process involves analyzing requirements, specifying the software requirements, and then designing, coding, implementing, and testing the software. Key diagrams for design include entity relationship diagrams and various Unified Modeling Language diagrams. The scope of an HMS can include any hospital, clinic, dispensary, or pathology lab for maintaining patient details and test results. Advantages include time savings, improved efficiency, reduced errors, and better patient care.
