DATABASE DESIGN PROPOSAL
1
Introduction:
Information Technology has revolutionized many unorganized sectors, including the medicinal
field. The ever-growing world with the growing population and medical needs requires Hospitals
to implement an Information storing system that will be able to manage all the tasks of a multi-
specialty hospital because it is hard to keep track of everything manually. To implement a
database design, the first thing to make sure of is the entities that need to be added to the design
(Asabe, Oye & Goji, 2013). The entities, in this case, include; Doctors, Occupancy, Patient
Information, Staffs, Supplies Control, Billing, Insurance, Laboratory/Radiology, Employees,
Statistical Report, and telehealthcare.
Case Study:
Manual registration and allocation in a hospital is a task in itself. It is a time consuming
and an energy-draining process. In today’s IT advanced world, there is a need to implement
HMS to create a support system that allowed the management to make vital decisions.
Proposed Solution Strategy and Requirement Analysis:
There have been cases of delays in patient’s information retrieval, and there is a need for
a health custodian for health facility to be appropriate. Hence, an imperative Hospital
Management System can be the initial point for improved medical care facilities. There would be
no need for traditional methods of paper filling, hours of waiting time as appointments could be
made in an instant with the help of a Database Management System, and other various
advantages. The proposed software solution is a Hospital Management System. This will be used
to gain data from the patients for future references and store information related to all the
Hospital entities (Atassi et al. 2014). The current system in use was a manual one that required
