 ABSTRACT

The Hospital Management System is a desktop application designed to streamline the administrative and
medical operations within a hospital. It reduces paperwork, increases efficiency, and ensures accurate data
management. This system maintains comprehensive records for doctors, including their names, IDs, ages,
qualifications, addresses, department IDs, and email addresses. For patients, it stores their names, IDs, ages,
addresses, associated doctor IDs, and medical descriptions. The admin module records information about
administrative staff, including their names, IDs, and email addresses.

Additionally, the system keeps track of patients' relatives, their names, IDs, and email addresses, which is
crucial for emergency contacts. It also monitors current online users, including their names, IDs, and email
addresses, enhancing security and communication within the hospital. Finally, it manages a list of
discharged patients, recording their names, IDs, ages, and addresses. Overall, this Hospital Management
System aims to create an efficient and secure way to handle various hospital management tasks, ensuring
better patient care and streamlined operations.

CHAPTER 1
 INTRODUCTION

This Courier Management System Project will have different modules. The login section will
have login facility for the user who will operate this system. While taking orders from orders
from its customers, it will take all the details of its customers who is placing the orders all the
details such as its address, name, mobile number, date and receiver address. Through the tracking
id, customers will able to track whether deliver status.

The courier service is one of the solutions of these problems. It is used to send some things to any
person in the world within time. The courier company has number of branches, which are spread
over the country or the world. So that when person wants to send things then he has to contact at
nearest courier service branch. The courier company creates the schedule & gives
internal/external services. The courier service work as destination office or source office.

In modern age, as time increase, needs & requirements of the person are also increased. They
want more facility & try to do their task quickly & within time. But they can not get all the
things at nearest market or area, so they have to import the things from any place in the world.
Within the country, the things can be imported through post service. But it consumes the time &
sometimes problem of damage or missing occur. Where as in the international market, the one
way is shipping. But it also requires more time.

CHAPTER 4

SYSTEM DESIGN

4.1 ER Diagram

An Entity-Relationship (ER) model is used to design and represent the structure of a database through a
diagram known as an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ER Diagram). The ER model acts as a blueprint for
creating a database by illustrating the relationships among various data entities. The primary components of
an ER model include entity sets and relationship sets.
 Entity Sets: These are collections of similar entities. In a database context, an entity could be a table
or an attribute of a table. Entity sets are represented by rectangles in an ER Diagram.
 Attributes: These are properties or details of entities. Attributes are depicted as ellipses connected to
their respective entity sets.
 Relationship Sets: These define the associations between different entity sets. Relationships are
illustrated using diamonds in an ER Diagram.
 Links: Lines are used to connect attributes to entity sets and to link entity sets with relationship sets.
 Multivalued Attributes: These are attributes that can have multiple values for a single entity. They
are shown as double ellipses.
 Derived Attributes: These are attributes whose values can be derived from other attributes. They are
represented by dashed ellipses.
 Weak Entity Sets: These are entities that cannot be uniquely identified by their attributes alone and
require a relationship with another entity set. They are shown with double rectangles.
 Total Participation: This is when every instance of an entity set must participate in a relationship
set. It is denoted by double lines connecting the entity set to the relationship set.
Fig:1 ER DIAGRAM
4.2 Schema diagram

A schema diagram is a diagram which contains entities and the attributes that will define that schema. A
schema diagram only shows us the database design. It does not show the actual data of the database.
Schema can be a single table or it can have more than one table which is related. The design of the
database is called a schema. This tells us about the structural view of the database. It gives us an overall
description of the database. A database schema defines how the data is organized using the schema
diagram. A schema diagram is a diagram which contains entities and the attributes that will define that
schema. A schema diagram only shows us the database design. It does not show the actual data of the
database. Schema can be a single table or it can have more than one table which is related. The schema
represents the relationship between these tables. View Schema defines the design of the database at the
view level of the data abstraction. It defines how an end-user will interact with the database system. There
are many views schema for a database system. Logical Schema defines the design of the database at the
conceptual level of the data abstraction. At this level, we define the entities, attributes, constraints,
relationships, etc. and how their relationship would be logically implemented. The programmers and the
DBA work at this level and they do all these implementations. External Conceptual Mapping is done
between the external schema and logical schema to transform the request from an external schema to the
conceptual schema. This mapping relates the external schema with the logical schema
