Abstract

Due to over-waiting and long queue of patients waiting to see their doctor for health diagnostic and prescription and manual method for making an appointment with doctors which sometimes may cause missing of appointment due to no prior notice of non-availability of doctors that the appointment is been made with, large waiting time which may cause additional stress for the Clinic staffs to maintain the crowd at the reception. Consider patients that leave their place of work and offices just to see their doctor and on getting to the clinic discovers that the queue is very long, how frustrating they feels. In order to replace the manual medical file keeping system with an online database management system, the goal of this research is to design a web-based online doctor's appointment and medical database management system utilizing a case study of the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro school clinic. The software is a web-based application, and the administrator is in charge of both the doctor and patient's registration and login information. By providing the essential information, such as timings, category, etc., doctors can register. By entering their username and password, the doctor can log in. If an appointment is available, the doctor can see the patient request and will notify the patients. The patient must first log in and register before selecting the doctor by specifying the patient's ailment and the doctor's location. Then it displays a list of doctors who match patients with their problems, allowing the patient to choose one. The information is then sent to an online controller, who notifies the doctor after the doctor accepts the request. The controller then notifies the patient of their appointment time and declares that the booking is confirmed.
