Abstract: This research work is on design and construction of Hospital Management System (HMS). The
system provides the benefits of streamlined operations, enhanced administration & control, superior patient
care, strict cost control and improved profitability. The system uses JAVA as the front-end software which is an
Object Oriented Programming language and has connectivity with the back-end software.
Keywords: HMS- Hospital Management System.
I. Introduction
Before computerized Hospital Management System came into practice, it was difficult to keep proper
records of the daily activities of hospitals, patient information, maintenance schedule of equipments in the
hospital, and how funds are being allocated and used. This resulted in waste of money, time and manpower.
Hospital Management System is an information management system designed to help manage the various
aspects of a hospital (administrative, clinical and financial). It helps in monitoring and controlling the hospital’s
daily transactions, as well as the hospital’s performance. It also helps to address the critical requirements of the
hospital. Hospital Management System enables access to the right information and automation of complex task,
thereby allowing staff to spend more time caring for patients. Hospital Management System is custom built to
meet the specific requirements of the medium and large size hospitals across the globe.
Considering the above, there is need for the improvement of computerized hospital management
system to such hospitals as it would help provide and customize clinical data, enable faster diagnosis with
ready-made templates, allow doctors to follow advanced medical prescription patterns, and so on.
Admission management
Ambulatory
Laboratory
Account management
Payroll and Human Resource Management
III. Methodology
This HMS is based on the database, object-oriented programming language and networking techniques.
My SQL (Structure Query Language) is used in areas where keeping the records in the database is necessary,
this system uses JAVA as the front-end software which is an object-oriented programming technique and has
connectivity with My SQL, the back-end software.
V. Conclusion
Hospital Management System not only provides an opportunity to the hospital to enhance their patient
care, but also can increase the profitability of the organization. Hospital administrators would be able to
significantly improve the operational control and thus streamline operations. This would improve the response
time to the demands of patient care because it automates the process of collecting, collating and retrieving
patient information.
VI. Recommendation
It is recommended that hospitals currently practicing the manual system Hospital Management should
switch to the electronic system because it is more efficient and easier to use. Also, since the use of computers is
growing fast globally, introducing the electronic system will enable hospitals fit into the current global trend.
