We will design - you develop it

This project is different from the other projects we have listed in this site. We want you
to do the project yourself this time. We will provide you the architecture and design of the project.
You have to follow the guidelines and do the development yourself. We believe this is the
best training we can provide you.

Patient Information System (PIS) - Introduction

This software can be used to keep track of the patients registering in a hospital or clinic. Also, this system
supports accessing the previous visit histories of any patient, search for patients by name and other properties etc.

Patient Information System - Requirements

PIS will support registering patients.

Users of this software can search for patients by name, admission date, discharge date etc

Users can view the previous visit histories of any patient

System can maintain the list of doctors in the hospital

PIS can maintain the list of beds/rooms available in the hospital

Patients are categorised into "In Patients" and "Out Patients"

Designing the Patient Information System

The first step is to identify the different entities in the system. The following entities are identified
in our PIS :

Patient - a patient is the person who visit the hospital for treatment/consultation

Doctor - a doctor will be assigned to each patient.

Bed - if patient type is "In Patient", a bed will be assigned to the user.

Visit - a patient can visit the hospital any number of times.

Database design

You can choose SQL Server or MS Access as the database for this project.

Let us design a table corresponding to each entity so that we can save those entities.

Table Name : Patient

When a new patient arrives in a hospital and register, we will add a record to this table. A patient
will have only one record in this table.

Fields :

Field Name	Type
Id	Auto Number
Name	varchar (50)
Address	varchar (255)
DateOfBirth	DateTime
Phone	varchar (20)
EmergencyContact	varchar (255)
DateOfRegistration	DateTime

Table Name : Doctor

This is a master table, where we maintain the list of all available
doctors in the hospital.

Fields :

Field Name	Type
Id	Auto Number
Name	varchar (50)
Address	varchar (255)
Phone	varchar (20)

Table Name : Bed

This is a master table where maintain the list of all beds (rooms) in the hospital. Before we start
assigning a bed to a patient, we must have created all available beds in the hospital.

Fields :

Field Name	Type
Id	Auto Number
BedName	varchar (50)
RatePerDay	Number
BedType	varchar (50)

Table Name : Visit

This is a detail table where we create a record for each visit of each patient.

Fields :

Field Name	Type	Remarks
Id	Auto Number
PatientType	Number	0 - In patient, 1 - Out Patient
DoctorId	Number	For each visit, a doctor will be assigned to the patient.
BedId	Number	If the patient type is "In Patient", a bed will be assigned to the user.
DateofVisit	DateTime	The date on which the patient visited the hospital
DateofDischarge	DateTime	Date on which patient is discharged from the hospital. If the patient type is "Out Patient", DateofDischarge will be same as DateofVisit
Symptoms	varchar (1000)	The symptoms of the patient
Disease	varchar (1000)	Disease identified by the doctor.
Treatment	varchar (1000)	Treatment suggested by the doctor.

Symptoms, Disease and Treatment are sensitive information. In most of the cases, this information
will not be saved into Patient Information System. You can remove those fields if you don't them to be
part of the system.

User Interface design

We need the following screens:

Screen	Details
Patient List	This screen uses a data grid to display the list of registered patients. User can enter the partial name of a patient to filter the list of patients by name. Also, it should be possible to filter patients by DateofRegistration.
Patient Registration	This screen allows to add/edit patient registration
Patient Visits	This screen uses a data grid to display the list of patient visits. This screen can be filtered by patient name, date of visit, date of discharge etc.
Patient Visit	This screen allows to add/edit patient visits
Doctors List	This screen displays the list of all available doctors, using a datagrid
Edit Doctor	Add/Edit doctors
Bed List	This screen uses a datagrid to display the list of all available beds in the hospital.
Edit Bed	Add/Edit bed information

Feel free to write your questions and comments as feedback below this page. You can ask any technical
questions and other general comments and we will try to answer all of them.

We will add more information here later...
