Scenario
Assalama Hospitals is a dream come true for a group of eminent and renowned visionaries with a respected name in the healthcare business and social fraternity especially in the Middle East. It aims to provide world-class, specialised and superior multi-specialty health care at affordable cost complimented by the warmth of human touch for the growing population of the Sultanate of Oman.
This hospital's maiden venture was commissioned in 2002 in Ruwi and within a span of 13 years the group is positioned as the largest private healthcare group in the Sultanate, spreading its wings the length and breadth of the country in major places like Al Khuwair, Sohar, Salalah, Al Khoud, Barka, Sur, Nizwa and Falaj Al Qabail.
The hospital uses an application in its reception of all the wings of the building and the management of the hospital wants to change the application because of its slow services. The application has been developed by using a Visual Basic program with some limited functionalities and reports.
The management has given order to change the existing system into a new system to Data Infotech L.L.C. Data Infotech L.L.0 prioritises the requirements of the new system and agrees to deliver the first version of the new system for the most priority requirements in a year and then to deliver a second version later on.
The manager of Data Infotech L.L.C. signed an agreement with the management of the hospital and assigns a project team to complete the project. The team is a collection of programmers, designers, analysts, testers and a project leader. The project leader submits some of the requirements of the new system to the team members.
Windows Application: Hospital Management System
This project includes registration of patients, storing their details into the system. It has the facility to give a unique ID for every patient and stores the details of every patient and the staff automatically. It includes a search facility to know the current status of each room. The user can search the availability of a doctor and the details of a patient using the id.
It can be accessed either by an administrator or receptionist by using his/her username and password. Only the administrator can access all functions of the new system and the receptionist can access some limited functions only. The data are stored and retrieved using a database. The data can be retrieved easily. The interface should be very user-friendly. The data have to be well protected for personal use and will make the data processing very fast.
