Pmtct- Plus Learning Site Management Information System A Case Of Mukujju Sub~ County Tororo District

ABSTRACT

The evolving pattern shift resulting from IT, social and technological

changes has created a need for developing an innovative knowledgebased

healthcare system, which can effectively meet global healthcare

system demands and also cater for future trends, PMTCT- plus learning

site management information system (MIS) is developed with this sole

aim in mind, which helps in processing and management of health

center information not only inside the boundary, but also beyond the

health center boundary, for example, telemedicine or e-healthcare. The

purpose of this project therefore was to design and develop (automate) a

functional MIS for Mukujju Health Center, which could efficiently satisfy

the current and future needs (system and user requirements).

The MIS was developed in a context, wherein users could share and use

the system more effectively either on a network or as a standalone. The

designed system is fully compatible with future technical, social,

managerial and economical requirements. The developed system reveals

the inefficiencies of the existing manual system and gives the scope on

how this can be overcome and transformed into a better system. The

study gives the background, literature review, methodologr, system

study and implementation of the research project. The information

system developed is to provide data security, storage, speed and

independence. The system has been developed using Visual Basic for

graphical user interfaces and Microsoft Server for database. This

provides a graphical user friendly interface. An evaluation and

conclusion are also given in the report and recommendations made to

the current and future trend of the health Management Information System.
