Pharmacy System

Overview
Healthcare providers need top-notch pharmacy information systems to safely deliver
medications. For your hospital or group practice to keep patients safe and well
managed, so you need to implement a simple Pharmacy System that serve Patients
and carefully manage the Prescriptions and Medication system.

To do that, you have to implement the appropriate structure for the following:

1. The system store patients’ information in Singly linked list.

2. The system should create prescription for each patient.
3. The system should be serving each patient with updating prescription (for last
visiting) where first patient comes must be serve first.
4. The system records all the prescriptions for each patient where the last
prescription has first priority in your system.
5. The system has ability to add, delete and search for a specific medicine. The
system should be fast enough when searching about a medicine given its
name.

Task #1:
Question 1: Answer the following questions:
1. Which best data structure should be used in order to store patients’ prescription?
A. Singly linked list
B. Stack
C. Queue
D. Binary search tree
2. Which best data structure should be used in order to process the patients'
prescriptions?
A. Singly linked list
B. Stack
C. Queue
D. Binary search tree
3. Which best data structure should be used in order to store medicines?
A. Singly linked list
B. Stack
C. Queue
D. Binary search tree

Question 2: implement the following class data type:

• Prescriptions
Each prescription is for one medicine and contains the following information: patient

Task #2:
By using appropriate ADTs, design and implement the appropriate classes along with
their essential operations to complete the requirements of project.

The system must be able to allow the user to do these functions:

1. Adding medicine.
2. Deleting medicine.
3. Searching for medicine by its name.
4. Adding patient record to patients list.
5. Searching for patient.
6. Adding prescription for patient.
7. Adding patient to waiting list.
8. Serving patient (removing patient from waiting list and reducing the number of
medicines).

Note:
• Use a driven menu to display the above requirements properly.
• Use the following code for main method.

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Add Adts objects here

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int choice = 0;

do {
System.out.println("1- Medicines Management");
System.out.println("2- Patient registration");
System.out.println("3- Prescription Issuing");
System.out.println("4- Prescription Processing");
System.out.println("5- Exit");

choice = input.nextInt();

switch (choice) {
case 1:
int S=0;
do{
System.out.println("++++++++++ Medicines
Management++++++++++ ");
System.out.println("1- Add medicine");
System.out.println("2- Delete medicine");
System.out.println("3- Search for specific medicine by
name");
System.out.println("4- Back to main menu");

S=input.nextInt();

switch (S)
{
case 1:
// 1. Adding medicine.

case 2:

System.out.println("++++++++++ Patient registration

++++++++++ ");

// 4. Adding patient record to patients list.

break;
case 3:

System.out.println("++++++++++ Prescription Issuing

++++++++++ ");
System.out.println("Enter patient ID:");

//5. Searching for patient.

//6. Adding prescription for patient.
//7. Adding patient to waiting list.

// Use this Id to retrive patient object from list

// then update this object by add new prescription to
patient prescription list..
//Add this patient to waiting list.

break;

case 4:
//8. Serving patient (removing patient from
waiting list and reducing the number of medicines).
// Note: you have to update medicine class to add
method that reduce the number of medicines.
break;

}
} while (choice != 5);
