CHAPTER 1
Introduction
areas where access to quality medical services is often limited. However, many barangay
health centers continue to rely on outdated manual processes for managing patient records,
referrals, and appointments. These inefficiencies not only lead to delayed services but also
increase the risk of data inaccuracies and administrative burdens for healthcare workers. To
address these challenges, the Barangay Tinago Health Center Digital Management System
(BTHCDMS) was proposed as a comprehensive digital solution tailored to the specific needs
The transition from manual to digital systems has become an essential step in
improving healthcare delivery worldwide. Digital health management systems are proven to
enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and improve patient outcomes (World Health Organization,
2016). Such systems streamline workflows, provide secure storage for patient data, and enable
quick access to critical health information, making healthcare delivery more effective and
patient-centered (Madden et al., 2019). However, studies also show that rural health centers
often face significant barriers in adopting these technologies, such as limited infrastructure,
lack of training, and concerns about data security (Ghosh et al., 2017).
In Barangay Tinago, the health center faces similar challenges. The reliance on manual
systems results in time-consuming processes for managing patient data, generating referrals,
7
and tracking appointments. Furthermore, the absence of a centralized database makes it
difficult for healthcare workers to access patient histories efficiently, potentially delaying
critical decisions. This underscores the urgent need for a digital management system that not
only addresses these inefficiencies but also complies with data privacy regulations such as the
This study draws on established models like the Waterfall Model (Royce, 1970) for
systematic development and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis, 1989) to
ensure that the system is both functional and user-friendly. The Waterfall Model provides a
structured approach to system development, dividing the process into distinct phases such as
focuses on the factors influencing user acceptance, emphasizing perceived usefulness and ease
The research aims to address critical questions such as how a digital management
system can improve patient records management, streamline referrals, ensure data security,
with user-centered design principles, the BTHCDMS seeks to transform the operations of the
Barangay Tinago Health Center, providing a scalable model for other rural health facilities.
This study not only highlights the importance of digital transformation in healthcare
but also provides a localized approach to overcoming the challenges faced by barangay health
centers. With its potential to improve efficiency, accuracy, and patient satisfaction, the
Barangay Tinago Health Center Digital Management System serves as a promising step

Theoretical Framework
The theoretical framework of this study was anchored on the Waterfall Model,
developed by Winston W. Royce in 1970, and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM),
developed by Fred D. Davis in 1989. These two models provide the foundation for
understanding both the structured development of the Barangay Tinago Health Center Digital
Management System (BTHCDMS) and the factors that influence its successful adoption by
follows a linear and sequential approach. This model divides the software development
process into distinct phases: requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing,
deployment, and maintenance. Each phase must be completed before moving to the next,
effective for projects where the requirements are well-understood from the outset and are
The Waterfall Model offers a clear, phase-driven development approach that is ideal
for the BTHCDMS, which requires careful planning and step-by-step execution. In this
context, the model ensures that the system is developed in an organized manner, with each
phase addressing specific needs and requirements. The clear and documented flow of activities

are created. This phase includes defining how the system will operate, designing the
user interface, database structure, and other system components. For BTHCDMS, a
3. Implementation: In this phase, the actual coding of the system occurs. The
development team builds the system according to the design specifications, ensuring
19
that the system’s functionalities, such as patient registration, appointment scheduling,
4. Testing: The system undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the functional
testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT), ensuring that the BTHCDMS meets all the
5. Deployment: After successful testing, the system is deployed in the health center. This
phase involves setting up the infrastructure, training the health center staff, and
6. Maintenance: After deployment, the system enters the maintenance phase, where any
issues are addressed, updates are made, and improvements are implemented as needed.
This phase ensures the system remains up-to-date and continues to function as
intended.
In addition to the Waterfall Model, this study also integrates the Technology Acceptance
Model (TAM), developed by Fred D. Davis in 1989. The TAM helps explain how individuals
come to accept and use new technologies, focusing on two key factors:
1. Perceived Usefulness (PU): This refers to the degree to which users believe that using
a system will enhance their job performance. For the BTHCDMS, the health center
staff must perceive the system as a tool that will improve the efficiency of their daily
20
2. Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU): This refers to the degree to which users believe that
using the system will be free of effort. For the BTHCDMS, the system should have an
intuitive design and be easy to navigate, reducing the learning curve for users and
The TAM posits that Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use influence users'
Attitude Toward Using the system, which subsequently affects their Behavioral Intention
to Use and, ultimately, the actual usage of the system. This model ensures that the
BTHCDMS is not only functional but also accepted by the health center staff, improving the
By combining the Waterfall Model with the TAM, this study ensures that the BTHCDMS
is developed in a structured and systematic manner while also considering factors that
influence technology acceptance. The Waterfall Model ensures that the system is developed
with clear requirements and high-quality standards, while the TAM ensures that the system is
user-friendly and has a high likelihood of being adopted and effectively utilized by the
As shown in Figure 1, the six phases of the Waterfall Model are as follows:
Maintenance. This sequential approach provides a clear structure for the development
process of the BTHCDMS. The theoretical model also illustrates the two key determinants of
the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which are Perceived Usefulness (PU) and
Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), both of which play a crucial role in ensuring the system’s
21
Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework for the development of the Barangay Tinago Health Center
Digital Management System (BTHCDMS) integrates the Waterfall Model alongside the
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to ensure that the system meets the needs of the
healthcare staff while being accepted and effectively used by them. This dual approach helps
ensure that the system's development and implementation not only focus on technical
functionality but also take into account the factors influencing user acceptance and adoption.
