HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

DATABASE

STUDENT NAME STUDENT ID

 BACKGROUND
• The hospital management system database aims at having a paperless hospital.

• It provides the capability to store patient records on treatment, diagnosis, billing information and
all other data relevant to a patient.

• The system requires that a patient must be registered with the hospital for them to receive the
subsequent services. This is because the registration data is used to identify the patient in the
various departments that they attend.

• The hospital management system database is designed using the MySQL relational database
management system. MySQL database management system provides a complete workflow no
matter the platform its running ( Tonny Branson, 2018).

Challenges and solutions.

• The database is build for hospitals that do not have a lot of

functionality involved. It is suitable for small hospitals.

• Coming up with a normalized database was a bit challenging.

However, we were able to discuss and solved the normalization

challenges experienced.
