Introduction

The software intends at automating the working of the IITG hospital to ensure that the patient can be given a great experience while visiting the hospital and is given medicines which correspond to the diagnosis.

The software is not only limited to the IITG hospital – due to its generic nature, it can be implemented in other places as well.

The removal of paperwork, efficiency and speed of diagnostic process, and proper and responsible maintenance of a patient's medical history are the key areas affected by this project.

Features

The system can broadly be broken down into the following features:

Registration:

Staff members can only be registered by admin to avoid counterfeits
with the software by providing their details – which gives them access 
to the system with certain privileges, depending on the designation 
of the person. Once the staff memeber is registered, 
he/she may sign in with their user details.

A patient can easily register on the web app by providing its details and
profile picture and can login using the credentials to the patient portal.

Receptionist Module:

Receptionist will be able to make an appointment for patients to the
doctors of their choice. As many doctors are available in the hospital,
patient can schedule an appointment with any doctor of his/her personal
preference.

There will be different queues for different doctors and the
receptionist will be able to add the patient to the specified
doctor's queue and can also delete a specified patient if he/she wants 
to cancel his/her appointment.

Doctor's Module:

The doctor will have the benefit of writing the medicine only once
in the computer (in the present scenario, the doctor writes the
medicine with hand in 2 different sheets of paper which is tedious for
doctors and consumes a lot of time).

The doctor will be able to determine through our portal whether
the medicine is available in the pharmacy or not in real time so that if
the prescribed medicine is not there he/she can change the medicine.

The doctor will have the ability to check the medical history of the
patient in order to provide a more accurate diagnosis. Doctor can search 
for information on any medicine using the api we have integrated 
in our system.

Pharmacist Module:

When giving medicines to the patients, the module will automatically
decrement the quantity of that particular medicine so that medicine 
inventory remains up to date at any point of time without 
explicitly updating such type of information.

This module has the feature of printing medicine receipts which can be
easily read by anyone opposed to the handwritten medicine receipt we get
from IITG hospital now.

Patient Module:

This module offers the patient to view their past medical records 
without coming to hospital by accesing the web app from their room.
They can also update their information from this portal.

Installation Specifics for Admins

    Go to the root directory of your web server (/var/www/html)
    First clone the repository, using git clone https://github.com/abhiyadav1323/iitghospital.git

    (e) Restart the Apache2 server
    (f) Create patients folder in root directory
    (g) Give mod. permissions to the folder
    (h) Create database for the project using a MySQL dump

Testing

    Check header location, if there is an error message then the test has NOT passed

Requirements

The main server where the web apps will be hosted will simply require a XAMPP installation, and the software which will be used in the hospital can be run on a platform with any specifications.

We will also be requiring a medical inventory for our web app to function correctly and efficiently.
