Introduction
In the world, we live today hospitals play a major role in ensuring that people within the society
are of good health as required. This, in turn, will lead to the growth of the country's economy
since workers are of good health and can concentrate on their work properly. All this is possible
when the hospitals can provide services that are of high quality and efficient to their patients.
Also for the services to be efficient, the hospital needs some adjustment due to advanced
technology it is easier to capture information.
Justification of the system
Hospitals are the backbone of society when it comes to matters of health. This is evident because
without proper medication people are not able to work as required. Some people depending on
the work they do force them to observe a diet. From this, we can note that hospitals require
special equipment and system that will provide efficient and quality service at the minimum time
possible to their clients (Cagiltay, Tokdemir, Kilic and Topalli, 2013.).
For this to be possible, hospitals require a system that will manage that manages data. This will
enable patients to book doctor's appointment online, pay for their bills online through the use of
debit and credit cards, enable doctors do their patient checkup at a faster way without seeing
them physically and also make it easier for receptionist and nurse to retrieve patient document
faster as compared to the manual way of searching for records. This system will improve the
hospital's way of handling things since most of this work will be automated which reduces the
chances of an error occurring when data is taken or stored.
Background of the business
In the case of the hospital, it has many services that take place daily. Some of these services
include booking of appointments, paying for bills; visitations that take place and patient’s profile
collection. These are displayed, in the report. In this system, we have patients, doctors,
receptionists, and other people employed. We have patients and doctors who register within the
system using their first and last names.
The receptionist can do the following:
 Admission of patients to their respective ward and department.

 Books doctor appointments on behalf of the patient.
The doctor also can:
Prescribe tests for the patient.
 Log into his/her account.
 Draw money from the clerk.
The system has a database that can store huge amounts of data.
Project scope
The system enables patients to view their progress when it comes to how they take their
prescribed dose or test. The system enables fasten appointment to be booked and allow payment
via the credit and debit cards. This means that the system can carry out many tasks without one
module interfering with the other (Fahad, 2009).
Below is the schedule analysis for the project

Design phase- 6days * 13designers *45$=3,510$
Development- 29days * 7developers * 100$=20,300$
Testing – 6days * 150=900 $
Maintenance- 5days * 90 $=450$
The total budget will be= 30,560$
