ABSTRACT

It has always been an issue that most veterinary hospitals do not have efficient methods of handling data for patients. There are often cases where the doctors offer wrong or repeated medication for a patient mostly because they do not have a standard record keeping facility that allows them to follow up a patient’s medical record from registration to discharge as well as check-up visits. It is in the light of this problem that the needs for strong, efficient, error-free and cost-effective methods of record keeping have to be brought into place. This project is the design and implementation of a web application for Veterinary Hospitals. The objective of this project is to provide a reliable record keeping facility for both medical practitioners and patients alike, provide a means for monitoring patient medical behavior in order to make for easy diagnosis and medical analysis, and improve the overall working experience of the Veterinary Hospital staff by making information management cost effective and easy on the long run. The programming languages used in this design are HTML (Hypertext markup language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), SQL (Structured Query Language), PHP (Personal Homepage) and Javascript. It allows medical practitioners and staff to have a profile (by registration) on the portal and register patients as well. Doctors have access to edit patient medical data and add new data for each visit while the ordinary staff does not. In the end, all the patient needs is a hospital card in order to track the patient id, all other information regarding the patient’s business with the hospital is already known because it is stored in the database.
