ABSTRACT
This is a report of a project study that was carried out at Kansanga Medical Center in Kampala
(Kampala District). It is a Computerized Patient Records Management System with an objective of
managing and monitoring patients through proper keeping of their medical records. It also sends out
alerts and reminders to patient’s phones reminding them of things like their next visits to the doctor
and also gives doctors a chance to access the system from anywhere at any time using their mobile
phones. This solves problems like inefficiency in record keeping and error prone cost distribution
among others. To come up with the system, data was collected through interviewing of the doctors,
patients and nurses. Questionnaires were also used to identify activities at the Medical center as well
as observations. The information collected was analyzed then used to design and implement the
system.
The system was developed using HTML language to develop the front end of the program, SQL to
create the backend and PHP to connect to the database. It has a database that stores information about
the patients and doctors associated with them, nurses, wards among others. On top of that, a mobile
module is also included to enable doctors and other system users to update, edit and offer mobile
prescription to patients’ inquiries and prescriptions via mobile devices configured with the system.
