INTRODUCTION
A hospital is an institution for health care that provides patient treatment by
specialized staff and equipment. Usually, hospitals are funded by the public sector,
by health organizations (for profit or nonprofit), health insurance companies or
charities, including funds by direct charitable donations. Historically, however,
hospitals were often founded and funded by religious orders or charitable
individuals and leaders. Modern-day hospitals are largely staffed by professional
physicians, surgeons, and nurses.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
lack of adequate resources (poor financial resources) and uneven infrastructural
development .
Inadequate skills and knowledge at a local level to handle new systems and
technologies .
The upsurge in the number of patients seeking health care services requires a fast
and efficient records keeping. This is one of the driving forces behind the research into
the barriers militating against the implementation of the EHR in a Nigerian Secondary
Healthcare facility.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The main aim of this project is to design an automated system for controlling the flow of
patients data in the hospital.
The Objectives are to solve most of the problems encountered in the hospital using
the old and manual system of medical administration. In the manual system, almost all the
patient folders in the records have to be accessed by the staff for every folder request. The
integrity and security of the data in database system are considered here from the point of
view of freedom from risk. The risks are those events that threaten the data; threaten to
destroy or corrupt it to prevent its use, threaten to access it illicitly or to steal it.
Efficient data storage
Accurate data communication and manipulation
LITERATURE REVIEW
Laing, K. (2012), suggested that if all information in paper-based records were
digitized and embedded within information system, it will provide context sensitive
access to the data and link to their information in the institution. The health care
delivery could fully document information using a variety of conventional and handheld
computer equipment such as keyboard, pen-based input devices. Structured data
entry or hand writing recognition illegibility or inconsistent entries could be caught and
corrected as they are entered in medical order entry system, their results and all other
internal transactions could be tracked automatically.
METHODOLOGY
The research methodology of a project deals with the various techniques needed to
conduct a successful research work. Usually, such research could be quantitative –
focused on the number, or qualitative –research values. In this research, qualitative
study is employed as it relates to human lives.

CONCLUSION
One of the difficulties encountered in the implementation of a new system is the
success rate attached to the system. Questions like would the software succeed?
Would it fail or would it meet user demand are always asked. Software like this is not
difficult to implement and can serve multiple purposes. The impact that a record
management system would provide to a hospital like this is huge and cannot be over-
emphasized. It is thus, important to implement such a system as it would not only save
lives, but improve medical care.
