Toward a customizable effective patient management system for ensuring quality medical service

Abstract

Ensuring a computer based quick and accurate patient management system has been a challenging goal for many years. And it adds additional challenges in undeveloped countries where the doctor-patient ration is quite higher than in the developed ones. In our research, we identified the user requirements and then addressed the issues from a software engineering perspective to find an easy, yet efficient solution for providing quick and accurate patient entry, management, and medication. The software also supports localization so that a quick press of a button can produce a report in the native language using a rule based translation system. A canonical combination of patient data analysis is also provided to have a quick view on the category of patients using different demographic criteria.
