| dc.description.abstract | Data mining refers to the extraction of hidden predictive information from large
database which helps in Predicting future trend and behavior thereby helping
management make knowledge driven decisions. Patient records analysis System
uses data mining tool designed to aid in quick access and retrieval of patient’s
information to avoid time wasted in retrieving of such data from hospitals data
warehouse. In addition, the data mining tool was designed to discover hidden pattern
that helps in decision making by management. Patients records analysis is an online
automated system whose main aim is to aid in automating the process of capturing,
storing and retrieval of patient medical records and have those records available at
any other site (hospital) that has subscribed to the framework and can be access by
authorized staff within an organization. Also, the system aimed at enabling doctors
and records managers keep track of patient medical records and to enable them make
good informed decisions regarding their patients based on their medical history.
Through this system, physical files storage is significantly reduced hence patient's
records are stored in professional way. There is security of records because they are
stored remotely and anyone in need of the records can access them provided, they
have the right credentials. To come up with this system, users and system
requirements were elicited and analyzed to determine the functionality of the system.
The system was designed using Structured System Analysis and Design
Methodology (SSADM) which help in well-articulated analysis of the existing
system, feasibility study, system design, implementation and proper documentation
of design details. It majorly concentrates on the analysis and design phase of
waterfall model of software development life-cycle (SDLC). The system enables
quality of service in terms of medical attention given by enabling doctors and
management to be able to view the rate of common diseases and their percentages.
In addition, the management is able to know the number of patients a doctor has
attended to within a particular period of time. This makes it easier for management
to determine how much a doctor is supposed to be paid at the end of the month.
Therefore, the system is able to analyze and generate reports on patient information
and other related information that is useful for the management. | en_US |
