Web application for mobile inpatient information system

Abstract

With the advancement of IT technology in recent years, the concept of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) was introduced to the health care industry and incorporated to the health care services to provide better and efficient care to the patients. Referencing the concept of EMR, this project is modeled by the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to design and develop the Inpatient Information System (IPIS). IPIS is a web application for health care professionals to access patient health information during ward registration, discharge planning, inpatient procedures and prescriptions while using hand-held devices or workstations to make better decisions and thus, increases efficiency in providing better health care services to the patients.
