INTRODUCTION
The diverse sectors of the economy are fast growing for which the medical and
health care professions are no exceptions. Being that these professions
are in the increase day-by-day and they are lots of jobs done just to improve
the services rendered to patients that visits the hospital, the need for the
application of computers in this particular profession should not be
overemphasized.
In fact, apart from food and national defiance, we spend more money on
medical and health-care services than on any other single services since
“Health is wealth” and we as patients expects the very best from our
Doctors. All these expectations have been in place ever before but are
more realistic today. Perhaps, the most significant factor effecting this
shift lies in the eventual development of computers.
Computerization is the use of computers and computerized devices factories,
offices and other working places to perform automatically tasks previously done
by human beings. This computer – based system is of great importance to
the growth and survival of the various sectors of the government especially in
Hospital where lives are saved.
It is therefore, the aim of this project work to introduce. The
computer-based information system in Hospital administration and record
system. The principal reason for the introduction of computer in this
project id to improved patient case through patient medical records keeping and
this is achieved through computerization. ESUT TEACHING HOSPITAL ENUGU as
the case study of this project work. The project will examine and investigate
the already existing method of manual processing of medical records in
this Hospital. The projects work will also suggest the most modern method
of records system for the overall administration of the Hospital.
