40| Page
active participation, answer questions, and provide opportunities
for users to practice using the system in a simulated environment.
5. Train-the-Trainer Approach: Consider implementing a train-the-
trainer approach, where a core group of users from each user
group receives in-depth training and becomes the internal
trainers for their respective departments or teams. These internal
trainers can then provide ongoing training and support to their
colleagues, fostering a culture of continuous learning and
knowledge sharing.
6. Ongoing Support and Refresher Training: Offer ongoing support
and refresher training to users after the initial implementation.
This can include regular check-ins, dedicated support channels,

SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION

HTML:
HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is the
standard markup language used to create web pages.
HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting
of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>). HTML tags
most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although
some tags represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for
example <img>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the
second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening
tags and closing tags). Though not always necessary, it is best
practice to append a slash to tags which are not paired with a
closing tag.
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and
compose them into visible or audible web pages. The browser
does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret
the content of the page. HTML describes the structure of a
website semantically along with cues for presentation, making it
a markup language rather than a programming language.
HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites.
HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be
used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to
create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for
text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other
items. It can embed scripts written in languages such
as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML web pages.

CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (CSS):

56| Page
It is a style sheet language used for describing the look and
formatting of a document written in a markup language. While
most often used to style web pages and interfaces written
in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any kind
of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS
is a cornerstone specification of the web and almost all web
pages use CSS style sheets to describe their presentation.
CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document
content from document presentation, including elements such as
the layout, colors, and fonts.[1] This separation can improve
content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the
specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple
pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition
in the structural content .
CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in
different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-
screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based
browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile devices.
It can also be used to allow the web page to display differently
depending on the screen size or device on which it is being
viewed. While the author of a document typically links that
document to a CSS file, readers can use a different style sheet,
perhaps one on their own computer, to override the one the
author has specified. However if the author or the reader did not
link the document to a specific style sheet the default style of the
browser will be applied.

MySQL:

57| Page
MySQL is developed, distributed, and supported by Oracle
Corporation. MySQL is a database system used on the web
it runs on a server. MySQL is ideal for both small and large
applications. It is very fast, reliable, and easy to use. It supports
standard SQL. MySQL can be compiled on a number of
platforms.
The data in MySQL is stored in tables. A table is a collection of
related data, and it consists of columns and rows. Databases are
useful when storing information categorically.
FEATURES OF MySQL:
Internals and portability:
 Written in C and C++.
 Tested with a broad range of different compilers.
 Works on many different platforms.
 Tested with Purify (a commercial memory leakage detector)
as well as with Val grind, a GPL tool.
 Uses multi-layered server design with independent modules.
Security:
 A privilege and password system that is very flexible and
secure, and that enables host-based verification.
 Password security by encryption of all password traffic when
you connect to a server.
Scalability and Limits:
 Support for large databases. We use MySQL Server with
databases that contain 50 million records. We also know of
users who use MySQL Server with 200,000 tables and about
5,000,000,000 rows.

58| Page
 Support for up to 64 indexes per table (32 before MySQL
4.1.2). Each index may consist of 1 to 16 columns or parts of
columns. The maximum index width is 767 bytes
for InnoDB tables, or 1000 for MyISAM; before MySQL
4.1.2, the limit is 500 bytes. An index may use a prefix of a
column for CHAR, VARCHAR, BLOB, or TEXT column types.

CONNECTIVITY:
Clients can connect to MySQL Server using several
protocols:
 Clients can connect using TCP/IP sockets on any
platform.
 On Windows systems in the NT family (NT, 2000, XP,
2003, or Vista), clients can connect using named pipes if
the server is started with the --enable-named-
pipe option. In MySQL 4.1 and higher, Windows
servers also support shared-memory connections if
started with the --shared-memory option. Clients
can connect through shared memory by using the --
protocol=memory option.
 On UNIX systems, clients can connect using Unix
domain socket files.
LOCALIZATION:
 The server can provide error messages to clients in many
languages.
 All data is saved in the chosen character set.

59| Page
CLIENTS AND TOOLS:
 MySQL includes several client and utility programs.
These include both command-line programs such as
mysqldump and mysqladmin, and graphical programs
such as MySQL Workbench.
 MySQL Server has built-in support for SQL statements
to check, optimize, and repair tables. These statements
are available from the command line through
the mysqlcheck client. MySQL also
includes myisamchk, a very fast command-line utility
for performing these operations on MyISAM tables.
 MySQL programs can be invoked with the --
help or -? option to obtain online assistance.

WHY TO USE MySQL:


• Leading open source RDBMS
• Ease of use – No frills
• Fast
• Robust
• Security
• Multiple OS support
• Free

60| Page
• Technical support
• Support large database– up to 50 million rows, file size
limit up to 8 Million TB

JAVASCRIPT:
JavaScript is the scripting language of the Web. All modern
HTML pages are using JavaScript. A scripting language is a
lightweight programming language.JavaScript code can be
inserted into any HTML page, and it can be executed by all
types of web browsers. JavaScript is easy to learn.
WHY TO USE JAVASCRIPT:
JavaScript is one of the 3 languages all web developers must
learn:
1. HTML to define the content of web pages
2. CSS to specify the layout of web pages
3. JavaScript to specify the behavior of web pages
Example
x = document.getElementById("demo"); //Find the HTML
element with id="demo"
x.innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript"; //Change the content of
the HTML element
document.getElementById() is one of the most commonly
used HTML DOM methods.

61| Page
OTHER USES OF JAVASCRIPT:
 Delete HTML elements
 Create new HTML elements
 Copy HTML elements
 In HTML, JavaScript is a sequence of statements that can
be executed by the web browser.

JAVASCRIPT STATEMENTS:

 JavaScript statements are "commands" to the browser.


 The purpose of the statements is to tell the browser what to
do.
 This JavaScript statement tells the browser to write "Hello
Dolly" inside an HTML element with id="demo":

Semicolon;
 Semicolon separates JavaScript statements.
 Normally you add a semicolon at the end of each
executable statement.
 Using semicolons also makes it possible to write many
statements on one line.
JAVASCRIPT CODE:
 JavaScript code (or just JavaScript) is a sequence of
JavaScript statements.
 Each statement is executed by the browser in the sequence
they are written.
 This example will manipulate two HTML elements:
 Example

62| Page
 document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML="Hello
Dolly";
document.getElementById("myDIV").innerHTML="How
are you?";
JAVASCRIPT PROPERTIES:

 Properties are the values associated with a JavaScript


object.

 A JavaScript object is a collection of unordered properties.

 Properties can usually be changed, added, and deleted, but


some are read only.

.NET Framework:
.NET Framework is a software framework developed by Microsoft
that provides a comprehensive platform for building, deploying,
and running applications on Windows-based systems. It includes
a large library of pre-built code, called the Base Class Library
(BCL), which developers can use to create applications for various
purposes, such as desktop, web, and mobile applications.

Here are some key features and components of the .NET


Framework:

63| Page
Common Language Runtime (CLR): This is the foundation of
the .NET Framework and is responsible for managing the
execution of .NET applications. It provides services such as
memory management, security, and exception handling.

Base Class Library (BCL): The BCL is a set of pre-built code that
provides functionality for tasks such as input/output, networking,
database access, and graphics. It also includes classes for working
with common data types such as strings and arrays.

Language Independence: The .NET Framework supports multiple


programming languages, including C#, Visual Basic .NET, and F#.
Developers can choose the language they prefer while still being
able to access the same underlying framework.

Development Tools: Microsoft provides a range of development


tools for building .NET applications, including Visual Studio, Visual
Studio Code, and the .NET CLI. These tools provide integrated
debugging, testing, and deployment features.

Web Development: The .NET Framework includes a range of


technologies for building web applications, including ASP.NET
Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC, and ASP.NET Core. These frameworks

64| Page
provide a rich set of features for building web applications, such
as routing, authentication, and data access.

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF): WPF is a framework for


building desktop applications with rich user interfaces. It provides
support for vector graphics, multimedia, and data binding.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): WCF is a framework


for building distributed systems, including web services and
message-based applications. It provides a unified programming
model for working with various communication protocols.

Windows Workflow Foundation (WF): WF is a framework for


building workflow-enabled applications. It provides a set of
activities for creating workflows, which can be used to automate
business processes.

In addition to the above features, the .NET Framework also


provides support for interoperability with other programming
languages and platforms, such as COM and Java. It also includes
features for working with databases, XML, and other common
data formats.

65| Page
Microsoft has announced that .NET Framework will reach end of
support on June 30, 2023, and recommends migrating to .NET 5
or later. The successor to .NET Framework is .NET Core, a cross-
platform, open-source framework that provides many of the same
features as the .NET Framework.

C# :
C# is a general-purpose, modern and object-oriented
programming language pronounced as “C sharp”. It was
developed by Microsoft led by Anders Hejlsberg and his
team within the .Net initiative and was approved by the
European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA)
and International Standards Organization (ISO). C# is
among the languages for Common Language
Infrastructure and the current version of C# is version 7.2.
C# is a lot similar to Java syntactically and is easy for the
users who have knowledge of C, C++ or Java. A bit
about .Net Framework .Net applications are multi-platform
applications and framework can be used from languages
like C++, C#, Visual Basic, COBOL etc. It is designed in a
manner so that other languages can use it. know more
about .Net Framework Why C#? C# has many other

66| Page
reasons for being popular and in demand. Few of the
reasons are mentioned below:

Easy to start: C# is a high-level language so it is closer to


other popular programming languages like C, C++, and
Java and thus becomes easy to learn for anyone.

Widely used for developing Desktop and Web Application:


C# is widely used for developing web applications and
Desktop applications. It is one of the most popular
languages that is used in professional desktop. If anyone
wants to create Microsoft apps, C# is their first choice.

Community:The larger the community the better it is as


new tools and software will be developing to make it
better. C# has a large community so the developments are
done to make it exist in the system and not become
extinct.

Game Development: C# is widely used in game


development and will continue to dominate. C# integrates
with Microsoft and thus has a large target audience. The
C# features such as Automatic Garbage Collection,
interfaces, object-oriented, etc. make C# a popular game
developing language.

67| Page
Beginning with C# programming: Finding a Compiler:
There are various online IDEs such as GeeksforGeeks ide,
CodeChef ide etc. which can be used to run C# programs
without installing. Windows: Since the C# is developed
within .Net framework initiative by Microsoft, it provide
various IDEs to run C# programs: Microsoft Visual Studio,
Visual Studio Express, Visual Web Developer Linux: Mono
can be used to run C# programs on Linux. Programming in
C#: Since the C# is a lot similar to other widely used
languages syntactically, it is easier to code and learn in C#.
Programs can be written in C# in any of the widely used
text editors like Notepad++, gedit, etc. or on any of the
compilers. After writing the program save the file with the
extension .cs.

PROPOSED OF WORK

The proposed workflow for a patient healthcare management


system typically involves several key steps to ensure effective and
efficient patient care. Here is a general outline of the workflow:

1. Patient Registration: The process begins with patient registration,


where the patient's demographic information, contact details, and
insurance information are collected and entered into the system.
This step may involve verifying patient identity and eligibility for
services.
2. Appointment Scheduling: The system allows healthcare providers
or administrative staff to schedule appointments for patients
based on their availability and the patient's preferences. Patients
can also request or reschedule appointments through the system.
3. Patient Check-In: Upon arrival at the healthcare facility, patients
can check-in using self-service kiosks or online portals. This step
helps streamline the check-in process, reducing waiting times and
administrative burden.
4. Electronic Health Record (EHR) Management: Healthcare
providers access the patient's electronic health record within the
system. They can review medical history, previous diagnoses,
medications, allergies, and other relevant information to inform
their treatment decisions.
5. Examination and Treatment: Healthcare providers conduct
examinations, order tests, and document findings within the
system. They can create and update treatment plans, prescribe
medications, and record any procedures or interventions
performed.

82| Page
6. Patient Communication: The system facilitates secure
communication between healthcare providers and patients.
Providers can send messages, share test results, provide
educational materials, and address patient inquiries. Patients can
access their health information and communicate with their care
team through patient portals or mobile applications.
7. Billing and Insurance: The system captures and tracks billing and
insurance information, enabling healthcare providers to generate
accurate and timely claims for services rendered. It helps
streamline the billing process and ensures proper reimbursement.
8. Care Coordination: The patient healthcare management system
allows for seamless coordination and collaboration among
healthcare providers involved in the patient's care. Providers can
share information, update treatment plans, and monitor progress
to ensure continuity and quality of care.
9. Follow-up and Patient Engagement: The system can send
reminders for follow-up appointments, medication refills, or
preventive screenings to patients. It may also provide educational
resources, health tips, and personalized recommendations to
promote patient engagement and proactive healthcare
management.
10. Reporting and Analytics: The system captures and analyzes
data to generate reports on key performance indicators, patient
outcomes, and operational metrics. These reports help healthcare
organizations monitor their performance, identify areas for
improvement, and make data-driven decisions.

The proposed workflow for a patient healthcare management


system aims to streamline patient care processes, enhance
communication and collaboration, improve patient engagement,

83| Page
and optimize the overall quality and efficiency of healthcare
delivery. It provides a structured framework for managing patient
information, appointments, treatments, and billing while
facilitating effective communication between patients and
healthcare providers.

Improving patient care has become a priority for all health care
providers with the overall objective of achieving a high degree of
patient satisfaction. Greater awareness among the public, increasing
demand for better care, keener competition, more health care
regulation, the rise in medical malpractice litigation, and concern
about poor outcomes are factors that contribute to this change.

The quality of patient care is essentially determined by the quality of


infrastructure, quality of training, competence of personnel and
efficiency of operational systems. The fundamental requirement is
the adoption of a system that is ‘patient orientated’. Existing
problems in health care relate to both medical and non-medical
factors and a comprehensive system that improves both aspects
must be implemented. Health care systems in developing countries
face an even greater challenge since quality and cost recovery must
be balanced with equal opportunities in patient care.

The medical aspects of patient care are much better understood by


most health care providers. This is dependent on the quality of
medical and technical expertise, and the equipment and quality
assurance systems in practice. The following factors contribute to
the improvement of patient care.

1. Trained Personnel. A well-trained ‘Eye Care Team’ is critical to


providing high quality care with desirable outcomes. Lack of
adequate personnel and lack of adequate training facilities for the

84| Page
available personnel are major problems. The temptation to recruit
untrained or poorly trained people should be resisted. The number
of training programmes must be increased, and the existing
programmes must be improved. Making a uniform basic curriculum
available for all training institutions/programmes should help bring
about standardisation.
2. Quality Eye Care. There is significant concern about the outcomes
of cataract surgery, and other common surgical procedures.
Incorporation of quality assurance systems in every aspect of
patient care is critical. For example, adherence to asepsis in the
operating rooms will help reduce post-operative morbidity and
proper training of ophthalmologists in diagnostic techniques will
help achieve better control of sight-threatening diseases.
3. Equipment. All the necessary equipment must be in place and
properly maintained. This is vital to the performance of the medical
system and contributes significantly to better results. Eye-care
equipment of acceptable standards is now available at reasonable
prices, and this must be accompanied by appropriate maintenance
systems.
4. Use of Proper Instruments. Good quality instruments are now
available at lower costs. With the development of proper inventory
control systems for a given operation, the costs can be lowered.
5. Use of Appropriate Medications. Access to low cost medicines is
an absolute necessity for appropriate care.
6. Use of Newer Technologies. It is important to continually employ
newer technologies that improve the quality of care. Of course, this
must be done with reference to cost-efficiencies.

Improvement of patient care is a dynamic process and should be


uppermost in the minds of medical care personnel. Development
and sustenance of a patient-sensitive system is most critical to
achieving this objective. It is important to pay attention to quality in
every aspect of patient care, both medical and non-medical.

FUTURE SCOPE OF PATIENT HEALTH CARE MANAGEMNET
SYSTEM

The future scope of patient healthcare management systems is


vast and holds great potential for transforming the healthcare
industry. Here are some areas of future development and
opportunities:

1. Interoperability and Data Exchange: Enhancing interoperability


between different healthcare systems and promoting seamless
data exchange will be a crucial focus. Future patient healthcare
management systems will strive to facilitate the secure exchange
of patient information across healthcare providers, ensuring
continuity of care and better care coordination.
2. Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics: Patient healthcare
management systems will increasingly leverage artificial
intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics to analyze vast amounts

exciting, with potential advancements driven by technological
innovations and a focus on improving patient outcomes,
enhancing care coordination, and promoting patient engagement.
These advancements will revolutionize healthcare delivery, leading
to more personalized, efficient, and patient-centered care.

Technological Improvements

Accuracy of monitoring devices and networks for


communication Close and constant cooperation between patients
and healthcare providers is key to chronic disease management.

Medical Improvement

88| Page
Need for clinical evidence Although previous studies have proved
the practicality of CPBMI use, its actual medical effectiveness has not
yet been established, and clinical evidence of its effectiveness is
limited. Appropriate application of CPBMI to medical fields requires
collection of large-scale, research-based evidence of its clinical
effectivenes.

User Improvements

Although familiar with in-hospital medical care, patients are


relatively less experienced and confident with using CPBMI. Hence,
promoting patients' active and voluntary participation is very
important. Besides interaction between medical providers and
patients, communication among chronic disease patients is also
important.
