Abstract
The purpose and essence of any records management system is to provide the right information in the right
place, in the right order, at the right time for the right person at the lowest cost. This is better achieved by a
computer-based system. There are some patient record management information systems (PRMISs) in
existence, but they are not readily usable nor are their designs available for improvement. The main objective
of this research was, therefore, to design and develop a PRMIS that would automate patient information
management and give direct benefit in certain terms, whilst avoiding any confusion that would jeopardize the
quality of patient care. The research strategy was design and creation, and the software development model
used was the waterfall. The design and implementation of PRMIS is presented, a veritable stepping stone.
Keywords: Patient Record, Hospital Management, Management Information System, Patient Record
management, Record Management
1. Introduction
Patient Management Information Systems (PMISs) are comprehensive, integrated information systems
designed to manage the information of patients of a hospital and manage the service processes. Hospitals are
becoming more reliant on the capability of patient management information system to assist in the diagnosis
process and management, for better and improved services and practices. The main goal of PMISs is to
streamline the flow of information across the hospital towards effective decision making for patient care, in an
optimized and efficient manner. Recording of patient information, be it medical, personal, financial or legal,
or recording of medical personnel information on paper is at risk of thievery, fire outbreaks, misplacement by
employees and even petty things such as handwriting legibility. An automated PMIS will be necessary
because there are a lot of difficulties in maintaining a large amount of information on paper, especially as
there is usually no back-up for the information, access to information can prove difficult and time-consuming
if it has to be searched for, and accuracy is needed in the recording of vital information, and chief medical
personnel cannot oversee all that is written on the vast amount of paper to be used. It is, therefore, vital for a
healthcare organization such as a hospital to have an automated patient management information system.
There are a number of hospital management applications, open source and non-open source, but they are
usually difficult to customize or proprietary and expensive, and their designs are not readily available for
appreciation and improvements. The aim of this research is, therefore, to design and create a patient record
management system that would enhance information integrity, reduce transcription errors by minimizing the
chances of wrong documentation, reduce duplication of information entries, optimize report turnaround time,

reduce the chances of pilferage as related data would be readily available electronically, and maintain records
of indoor and outdoor patients.
The research strategy was design and creation (Oates, 2009). The development model employed for the
project was the waterfall model (Hughes & Cotterell, 2009) because the project‟s requirements were clear and
understood before the commencement of design and development. Interview and direct observation data
collection methods were utilized at two hospitals to gather information about patient record management. In
addition, extant literatures were reviewed and existing software providing similar facilities were examined for
enlightenment and possible improvement. The resultant application was evaluated within certain limits. No
exceptional difficulty of being ethical researcher was encountered.
Effective management of information in any organization is vital for the optimal maintenance and growth of
that organization. Management of information in healthcare organisation can in some cases be the difference
between life and death. Hence, a healthcare organization such as a hospital will benefit from system such as
the proposed, and its design is available for adoption and improvement.
2. The Patient Record Management System
The system specification describes the functional and non-functional requirements posed on a system element
(Modelli, 2010). The Use Case diagrams, Figures 1 to 4, present the Receptionist, Nurse, Doctor, and
Administrator, the key hospital entities, requirements of the system. The attendant processes flowcharts are
shown in Figures 5 to 8, respectively.

Some of the algorithms formulated include Login, Register User, Add a Record, Edit Record, and Delete
Record algorithms. These pseudo codes detail the processes much like the flow charts. The Login algorithm,
for example, follows:
- System startup
- Enter login details
- On click of login button
- Connect to database
- Database query for user login verification authenticity
- If inauthentic
- Deny access and return to login page with error message
- If authentic
- Allow login
- Set administrator session
- Re-direct administrator to home page with administrator-privilege access
- If not administrator
- Allow login
- Set user session
- Re-direct user to home page with user-privilege access
2.1 Database Design
The database had to be designed in a particular manner, as one of the core elements of any management
information system. The entities about which data is required include the Patient, Staff, Appointment,
Prescription, Departments, Patient Diagnosis History, Patient Family Medical History, Patient Medical
History, Admission, Wards and Responsible Party. A number of the required attributes are presented in
Tables 1 to 9, as part of the physical database design. This process started at the analysis phase of the project,
to identify the necessary entities and relations, and their attributes, leading to determination of tables required
for the database and the associated field names, format and length of each table. The Entity Relationship
Diagram (ERD), which is a graphical representation of the relationship between the entities, and their
attributes within proposed database of the system, is shown in Figure 9.

2.2 Software Implementation
Implementation is the realization of an application, or execution of a plan, idea, model, design, specification,
standard, algorithm or policy (Laudon & Laudon, 2010). Modules of the proposed application include Login,
Main, Patient Registration, Admission, Diagnosis Report, Search, New User, Password Reset, Manage
Departments, and Manage Wards Modules. The login module facilitates access to the system for the
employee granting the employee respective access privilege. The login page is depicted in Figure 10.
Figure 10: Login Page
The Main module is the module from which all operations are carried out. It consists of various operations,
which vary depending on the access privilege granted to the user. Its access page has a database tab which is a
container for various query requests made by the user such as search queries, employee list queries, and
patient list queries, among others. These queries are represented on a table. Each record has a right click
Menu. For instance, if a receptionist searches for a patient, upon selecting a record, an “edit patient record” is
available for the record. Upon selection of this menu, the register patient page is displayed preloaded with
information about the selected record. Screenshots of the access page to this module are shown in Figures 11
and 12.

Figure 12: Main Module Access Page (With Requested Query)
The patient registration module is divided into four, represented by four tabs, which categorize information of
the patient. They are Basic Details, Responsible Party, Patient Medical History and Family Medical History.
The module enables saving a patient record to the database, generating a portable document format (PDF)
report for a patient and updating a patient record. Screenshots of this module access pages are shown in
Figures 13 to 16. This module is available to employees with Receptionist-privilege access to the system.

Most of the modules were rather similar and therefore required a rather easy reusable testing process.
However, the user accounts module accessible to the system administrator was one of the unique components
that needed to be carefully tested in the information management system (this involved testing each users‟
access right) to ensure that user privileges did not conflict.
2.3 System Testing And Evaluation
Testing is critical for a newly developed system as a prerequisite for rolling out, which is conducted to ensure
accuracy and reliability. Component or unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code, sets
of one or more computer program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures and
Researchjournali’s Journal of Information Technology Vol. 1 | No. 1 May | 2014
19
www.researchjournali.com
operation procedures are tested to determine if they are fit for use (Huizinga & Kolawa, 2007). In the
development of the information management system, each component was tested independently before finally
integrating all of them into one system. These tests were used to verify that every input of data was assigned
to fields in the appropriate tables. Integration testing is the testing of the interaction among the system‟s
components sequentially and continuously. This usually entails the interaction between the user interface and
the database. The interaction between the database and interfaces was among the integration tests done. The
seamless interaction between the User login interface and the database is illustrated in Figure 25. When
another user tries to enter and the user is not authorized or the user enters incorrect login details, the system
displays an error message “username or password incorrect.”
Figure 25: Successful Login
A system normally consists of all components that makeup the total functioning system. It is necessary to
ensure the entire system runs smoothly and meets desired expectations. Here, technical, and functional testing
were performed. The technical testing involved the process of testing the systems compatibility with the
hardware, operating system, data integrity in the database, and user authorization access rights. Functional
testing was also carried out to establish how the system would function in its intended working environment.
Release testing involves testing a version of the system that can be released to users. This test is concerned
with showing whether or not the system is working. It is usually black box testing which is based on an
analysis of the expected functionality of the application without reference to its internal workings. Our
application was tested by the end users to ensure that it met the requirements sufficiently well.
Evaluation is a systematic determination of a subject‟s merit, worth and significance, using criteria governed
by a set of standards. It can assist an organization, program, project or any other initiative to assess any aim,
realizable concept/proposal or any alternative to help in decision-making (International Center for Alcohol
Policies, 2014). The primary goal of evaluation, in addition to gaining insight into prior or existing initiatives,
is to enable reflection and assist in the identification of future change (The Evaluation Trust, 2007). The
DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model (DMSM) for measuring Information Systems (IS)
Researchjournali’s Journal of Information Technology Vol. 1 | No. 1 May | 2014

www.researchjournali.com
has a basic model consisting of six categories of Information System success, which are systems quality,
information quality, use, user satisfaction, individual impact and organizational impact (Palmius, 2007).
Concerning systems quality, the proposed system proves effective as it does what it was required to do with
efficiency and speed. Concerning information quality, aside from the limitation of human error in user input
into the system, the system retains quality information through the removal of redundancies and privacy
protection through user authentication before access to the system. Concerning the use of the system, the
proposed system proved easy to use as all fields are well labeled. Concerning user satisfaction, through the
release testing, it was discerned that the system was satisfying to the users. Concerning individual and
organizational impacts, these aspects could not be properly evaluated due to time constraints to observe and
get information from the users over a long period to know if the system impacted the individuals‟ job
performances and organizational improvement through quality information and ease of information retrieval.

The term hospital derives from the Latin word „hospitalis‟, which relates to guests and their treatment. The
word reflects the early use of these institutions not merely as places of healing but as havens for the poor or
for weary travellers. Hospitals first appeared in Greece as Aesculapius, named after the Greek god of
medicine, Aesculapius (Risse, 1990). For many centuries they developed in association with religious
institutions, such as the Hindu hospitals opened in Sri Lanka in the 5th century B.C. and the monastery-based
European hospitals of the middle Ages (5th century to 15th century). The Hôtel Dieu in Paris, a monastic
hospital founded in ad 660, is still in operation today (Science Museum, 2014). A record is stored information
produced or received in the initiation, conduct or completion of an institutional or individual activity and that
comprises content, context and structure sufficient to provide evidence of the activity regardless of the form
or medium (Acheng, 2008). Records Management is the professional practice or discipline of controlling and
governing what are considered to be the most important records of an organization throughout the records
life-cycle, which includes from the time such records are conceived through to their eventual disposal. This
work includes identifying, classifying, prioritizing, storing, securing, archiving, preserving, retrieving,
tracking and destroying of records (ARMA International, 2001).
A medical error is a preventable adverse result that may occur during a medical process irrespective of
whether it is evident or harmful to the victim of the error (usually the patient being attended to). Medical
errors occur when a staff member of a health care institution uses an unsuitable method of care or performs a
wrong method of care. These errors are often described as human errors in healthcare (Zhang, Patel &
Johnson, 2008). Errors may include misdiagnosis, administration of the wrong drug to the wrong patient or in
the wrong way which in some cases may be due to misrepresentation of information, prescription of multiple
Researchjournali’s Journal of Information Technology Vol. 1 | No. 1 May | 2014

drugs that may interact negatively, surgery on an incorrect site, failure to remove all surgical instruments,
failure to take the correct blood type into account, or incorrect record-keeping (Wikipedia, 2013). Poor
communication (whether in one's own language or, as may be the case for medical tourists, another language),
improper documentation, illegible handwriting, inadequate nurse-to-patient ratios, and similarly named
medications are also known to contribute to the problem. Patient actions may also contribute significantly to
medical errors (Palmieri, DeLucia, Ott, Peterson & Green, 2008). Most Hospitals today still maintain the
traditional writing materials (pen and paper) and methodologies for keeping records. This methodology may
include usage of printed forms that include all the necessary fields for the respective medical process or
medical department, the evolution of the digital world and presence of modern-day devices which operate at
high speeds suggest that these traditional methodologies can be improved and be more efficient. Digital
advancements of this methodology can reduce costs, enhance patient safety and increase the pace of the
traditional methodology, thereby making it more efficient.

and developed to convey real conceivable benefits to hospitals and clinics which reduce the paper overload. It
streamlines the flow of information across the hospital that helps effective decision making for patient care,
hospital administration/management and streamline financial accounting in an optimized and efficient
manner. It could also be customized to the requirements of a hospital. It is a platform independent, browser-
based application developed on .Net technology using 3.5 frameworks with MS-SQL as the database. It has a
user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). Its features include Hospital Administration, Out- and In-patient
Management, Emergency Patient Management, and Laboratory Tests, among others (Centre for Development
and Advancement of Computing, 2014).The proposed system adopts this systems‟ ideology of emergency
patient management.
Most existing healthcare management systems are too generalized. This may result in omission/abstraction of
necessary information which can result in horrendous consequences. Fortunately, through specialization, said
consequences can be avoided and this is why a patient management information system is needed. It can be
considered a sub-system of a healthcare management system that specializes in managing patient information
effectively.

4. Conclusion
Computers are finding their way into every business, industry and research activity today. The use of
computers is diverse, such as in entertainment, education, problem solving, research, personal management,
among others. In hospitals, the process of maintaining the record of patients and employees working in the
hospital, calculating bills, and so on, requires processing and record keeping in different departments.
Keeping in view a strong need for managing the various important information fast and efficiently, Patient
Information Management System (PIMS) has been designed and developed. Proper analysis and assessment
of the developed system indicates an efficient, usable and reliable records-management system, which
Researchjournali’s Journal of Information Technology Vol. 1 | No. 1 May | 2014

adequately meets the minimum expectations that were set for it initially. The application scope, though, could
be widened to accommodate entire hospital records management. The system can also be further enhanced so
that the patients themselves can be able to access their information in a secure manner for the purpose of
greater doctor-patient transparency.
