Integrated Hospital Management System

Abstract

There are many private hospitals in Oman. Some of the hospitals are having their own web-based applications providing the details of services provided by the hospital and manage appointments done by the patients. However, there is no web-based application which provides a common integrated platform to compare services provided by various hospitals and manage the patient’s consultations with doctors. This research paper is targeted towards integrating services provided by various private hospitals. The prime focus of this research is to design a prototype for web-based application and provide an implementation strategy in developing an integrated solution. This research is intended towards serving the community in Oman by giving the flexibility to the patients in comparing the services of various hospitals with ease and choosing the hospital of their choice by booking appointments easily from their home avoiding long waiting queues in hospitals. The proposed prototype system can also manage the patient’s treatment details and track their medical history.

Multiplatform system oriented to telemedicine

“…Moreover, this research work is aimed at the integration of the services provided by several private hospitals, for this reason made a main approach which is to design a prototype for a web application based on providing a strategy of an implementation in the development of an integrated solution [6]. Likewise, telemedicine has evolved significantly in recent decades to encompass online consultations, in turn intensive care monitoring, mental health monitoring, chronic disease management and providing an alternative help to traditional visits to hospitals, posts and doctors [7].…”

“…On the other hand, Habsi and Ahmed [6] also conducted a survey of patients visiting several hospitals, in which the answers given by patients about their level of satisfaction with the existing services of the hospital were 90% who did not agree and 10% who did agree with the existing services that the hospital had. In addition, the same author asked another question in which the answers given by patients showing the need for integrated services for several hospitals in a single web application, 90% if they agreed that a web application based on integrated services should be made for several hospitals, and 10% did not agree that the web application be made.…”
