ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to design and implement a computerized hospital patient management system, eliminate redundancy in term of data storage, reduce the time wasted in retrieving data especially in finding a past health records, increase efficiency and interactivity in any area of specialization in the hospital.
A function oriented model was adopted for this study. The Oracle database is the database server where the data is sent to and retrieved from while Active Server Pages (.net programming language) is the client which provides the user interface design and the forms used by the doctors, staff and nurses during administration in the office, laboratory, wards, pharmacy, X-ray e.t.c.
