INTRODUCTION
As the years passed, the number of patients has grown and various medical
cases arise that the manual method of monitoring of patients’ records and prescriptions
were moved into computer-based systems.
nutritionist and doctors) and barangay health workers (BHWs) that works on the
process of recording and profiling individuals and families that needs their medical
care. In doing medical consultation BHWs are first on the line to receive personal
information from the patient and record them in their forms for proper profiling. After
patient’s profiling they are advice to wait in the line if they were for immunization,
doctor’s consultation, or any medical care services before they were catered by the
public health staff. Recording of patient’s consultation is through manual approach. To
improve their services to the community, Barangay Health Center Patient Record and
Monitoring System is proposed to be implemented in the said barangay. It is designed
for keeping and monitoring the medical records of every patient that is consulted in
Barangay Rizal. By this, paper works and manual record keeping will be minimized.
Therefore, allowing the nurse and staff to feel at ease in keeping track of patients and
increasing the number of them served.
1. What are the problems encountered in the manual barangay health center record
management system?
2. What is the extent of the need to be develop a barangay health center record
management system?
3. What is the extent of compliance of the barangay health center record
management system in ISO 25010?
This study aimed to design, develop and implement Barangay Health Center
Record and Management System for barangay Rizal Roxas, Isabela.
Specifically it aims to:
1. Identify the problems encountered in the manual barangay health center
record management system.
2. Design, Develop and Implement a barangay health center record
management system.
3. Determine the proposed system's level of software quality compliance using
ISO 25010.
In general, the focus of this study is directed towards the design and
development of an automated Barangay Health Center Record and Monitoring System.
This study is largely dependent on the information of the Barangay health secretary
record and keep. This includes all the essential health records of all the patients of
barangay Rizal.
Scope
The system intended for persons who have direct involvement in the processing
of health programs and other medical services of Barangay Rizal. The study dealt
largely with recording the Patient Profile Information of the Rizalineo. The study
ISABELA STATE UNIVERSITY
Roxas Campus
involves the patient’s personal information, contact information and medical records
history.
Delimitation
In this proposed system, records and files are computerized and stored for
accessibility and portability. However, the proponents limit the feature of the secure
log-in system to the nurse, doctor, midwife and barangay health worker only. Web
access of the patients is not included.
The system only focuses on the health records of the barangay residents.
Unrelated barangay transactions like barangay clearance are not included in the
proposed system.
Barangay Health Worker- The staff cab benefits a lot from the study as they are
integral part of the whole clinic management.
Clinic- The proposed system will automate every clinic tasks and can help maximize
time spent with patients thereby providing better service to the community.
Nurse- The proposed system will make it easier for the head nurse to manage the clinic
and it would be convenient when it comes to retrieving patient health records.
Patients- It will provide better service for the patients and their community.

Local Studies
Barangay Basak Health Center is a center for health care in Basak, one of the
barangay in Lapu-Lapu City. Barangay health center is a community-based and patient-
directed organizations that deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality
primary health care services. It is also often integrate access to pharmacy, mental
health, substance use disorder, and oral health services in areas where economic,
geographic, or cultural barriers limit access to affordable health care services. Health
centers deliver care to the Nation’s most vulnerable individuals and families, including
people experiencing homelessness, agricultural workers, residents of public housing,
and the Nation’s veterans. Barangay health center was established through the Local
Government Code of 1991 upon the devolution of health services to local government
units (LGUs).It is located at M.V. Patalinghug Jr. Ave. Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
The study was the solution to the problems stated and to enhance the quality of service
a barangay office offers to its clients.
Foreign Studies
According to Martin R. Cowie (2017), in the United States or the Farr Institute
of Health Informatics Research in Scotland, have demonstrated the feasibility of using
Electronic health records for aspects of clinical research, particularly comparative
effectiveness. The success of these endeavors is connected to careful planning by a
multi-stakeholder group committed to patient privacy, data security, fair governance,
robust data infrastructure, and quality science from the outset. The next hurdle is to
ISABELA STATE UNIVERSITY

adapt the accrued knowledge for application to a broader base of clinical trials.
Electronic health records (EHRs) provide opportunities to enhance patient care, embed
performance measures in clinical practice, and facilitate clinical research. Concerns
have been raised about the increasing recruitment challenges in trials, burdensome and
obtrusive data collection, and uncertain generalizability of the results. Leveraging
electronic health records to counterbalance these trends is an area of intense interest.
The initial applications of electronic health records, as the primary data source is
envisioned for observational studies, embedded pragmatic or post-marketing registry-
based randomized studies, or comparative effectiveness studies. Advancing this
approach to randomized clinical trials, electronic health records may potentially be used
to assess study feasibility, to facilitate patient recruitment, and streamline data
collection at baseline and follow-up. Ensuring data security and privacy, overcoming
the challenges associated with linking diverse systems and maintaining infrastructure
for repeat use of high quality data, are some of the challenges associated with using
electronic health records in clinical research. Collaboration between academia,
industry, regulatory bodies, policy makers, patients, and electronic health record
vendors is critical for the greater use of electronic health records in clinical research.
This manuscript identifies the key steps required to advance the role of electronic
health records in cardiovascular clinical research.

METHODOLOGY
The researchers of the study used Rapid Application Development. The system
development process involves different phases. It includes the requirements planning,
prototyping (user design & construction), testing, and cutover. As shown in the figure
above.

PHASE 3: TESTING
In this phase, the researchers looked for available users for the pilot testing. The
researchers tested the input and output functionality of the system to know if the system
served its purpose or not. Feedback from the users was consolidated and considered to
improve the system.
PHASE 4: CUTOVER
This phase is the implementation phase. Once the development of the system
was completed, the researcher will implement the Barangay Health Center Record
Management System to 50 residents, and 2 Barangay Health Workers. The respondents
were given a questionnaire to evaluate the system based on ISO25010. The researchers
also utilized respondents' feedback to know the necessary adjustments to improve the
system.

data information collected from the questionnaire. Purposive sampling was also used as
a sampling technique.
Interview Method: The researchers will use this method to conduct interviews. The
researchers spoke directly to the respondents in a verbal conversation to collect
necessary information for the study.
Internet Research: Due to the pandemic, researchers will use the internet to search for
information instead of going to the library because it is easier to use.
SYSTEM EVALUATION
The researchers used a Five-point Likert Scale in their survey questionnaire
with a descriptive interpretation such as (Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree,
and Strongly Disagree) and (Very much a problem, Much a problem, A problem, Less
a problem, and Least a problem). The researchers will also utilize the weighted
arithmetic mean to analyze the data gathered. The questionnaire will determine
respondents' evaluation, opinions, and suggestions for improving the proposed system.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT

The figure above shows the different problems with manual barangay health
center record management, such as people, time, method and materials. For people
there are limited number of BHW to process the barangay health records of every
household. For time, there it takes a longer processing the barangay health records
and consultation reports. In materials, paper and pen together with records books are
highly used to records health status. And in method, manual recording and
monitoring of medical records are still performed which leads to an Ineffective and
unsecured processing and safekeeping of barangay health center records.
The Figure shows the context diagram of the proposed system. The Barangay Health
Center Record Management System (BHCRMS) processes the inputs from the
Barangay Health Workers coordinated by the Patient and Doctor. The system collects
important information from the Appointment Schedule, Clinical Records, Maternal
Records, and Child Health Records. The system processes this information to be
recorded for medical purposes, print prescription to patients and schedule appointments
to patient to organize the line queue for check-ups.
