Abstract
Traditionally, doctors have relied on paper-based methods to manage their
patients' medical history and treatments. However, this approach has several
issues, including inaccuracies, record misplacement, and difficulties in accessing
records when needed. These problems can lead to a time-consuming and
inefficient process that hinders the efficiency and effectiveness of medical care.
This study developed a medical record management system that provides a
centralized location for storing and sharing patients' information. This system
enables doctors and nurses to access patients' medical records quickly and
easily, leading to more effective and efficient care. Additionally, it allows multiple
health facilities to seamlessly access and share medical records, eliminating the
need for patients to provide the same information multiple times. Furthermore,
the system includes a patient referral feature, allowing patients to be referred to
another health facility if their doctor is not available while enabling the receiving
facility to access the referred patients' information. For patient information
confidentiality, doctors can only view the information of patients that are
assigned to them and write doctor prescriptions. Patients can also track their
health, diagnosis, and prescriptions by viewing their medical records through the
system. Moreover, the system allows patients to request an official copy of their
medical records from the health facility where they are registered. The developed
system introduces new methods and procedures to health facilities of Umingan
that will help improve the storing, sharing, and securing of patients' medical records.
