ABSTRACT
Our project Hospital Management system includes registration of patients, storing their details into the system, and also computerized billing in the pharmacy, and labs. Our software has the facility to give a unique id for every patient and stores the details of every patient and the staff automatically. It includes a search facility to know the current status of each room. User can search availability of a doctor and the details of a patient using the id.
The Hospital Management System can be entered using a username and password. It is accessible either by an administrator or receptionist. Only they can add data into the database. The data can be retrieved easily. The interface is very user-friendly. The data are well protected for personal use and makes the data processing very fast.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the project entitled as “HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” is to computerize the Front Office Management of Hospital to develop software which is user friendly, simple, fast, and cost – effective. It deals with the collection of patient’s information, diagnosis details, etc. Traditionally, it was done manually.
The main function of the system is to register and store patient details and doctor details and retrieve these details as and when required, and also to manipulate these details meaningfully System input contains patient details, diagnosis details; while system output is to get these details on to the CRT screen.
NEED
1. Efficiently maintains the details about the patient
2. Simultaneously updates changes made to any data, item in the entire data base.
3. It is faster than manual system

SYSTEM STUDY
INTRODUCTION
The goal of any system development is to develop and implement the system cost effectively; user-friendly and most suited to the user’s analysis is the heart of the process. Analysis is the study of the various operations performed by the system and their relationship within and outside of the system. During analysis, data collected on the files, decision points and transactions handled by the present system. Different kinds of tools are used in analysis of which interview is a common one.
INITIAL INVESTIGATION
The first step in system development life cycle is the identification of need of change to improve or enhance an existing system. An initial investigation on existing system was carried out. The present system of hospital is completely manual. Many problems were identified during the initial study of the existing system.
EXISTING SYSTEM
System analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a system and their relationships within and outside of the system. Here the key question is – What all problems exist in the present system? What must be done to solve the problem? Analysis begins when a user or manager begins a study of the program using existing system.
During analysis, data collected on the various files, decision points and transactions handled by the present system. The commonly used tools in the system are Data Flow Diagram, interviews, etc. training, experience and common sense are required for collection of relevant information needed to develop the system. The success of the system depends largely on how clearly the problem is defined, thoroughly investigated and properly carried out through the choice of solution. A good analysis model should provide not only the mechanisms of problem understanding but also the framework of the solution. Then the proposed system should be analyzed thoroughly in accordance with the needs.
System analysis can be categorized into four parts.
• System planning and initial investigation
• Information gathering
• Applying analysis tools for structured analysis
• Feasibility study
• Cost/benefit analysis
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The drawback of the existing system is that it is very difficult to retrieve data from case files. It is difficult to handle the whole system manually and it is less accurate and to keep the data in case files for future reference because it may get destroyed. Moreover it is very difficult to retrieve data. Redundancy of data may occur and this may lead to the inconsistency. The manual system is so time-consuming.
The proposed system is very easy to operate. Speed and accuracy are the main advantages of proposed system. There is no redundancy of data. The data are stored in the computer’s secondary memories like hard disk, etc. it can be easily receive and used at any time. The proposed system will easily handle all the data and the work done by the existing systems. The proposed systems eliminate the drawbacks of the existing system to a great extent and it provides tight security to data.
ABOUT OPERATING SYSTEM
Windows XP is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on general purpose computer systems, including home and business desktops, notebook computers and media centers. The letters ‘XP’ stand for experience. Windows XP is the successor to both Windows 2000 and Windows Me and is first consumer oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on the Windows NT kernel and architecture.
The most common editions of operating systems are Windows XP home edition, which is targeted at home users, and Windows XP professional, which has additional features such as, support for Windows server domain and two physical processors and is targeted at power users and business clients. Windows XP Tablet PC edition is designed to run the ink-aware Tablet PC platform. Two separate 64 bit versions of Windows XP were also released, Windows XP 64 bit edition for IA-64(Itanium) processors and Windows XP Professional x64 edition for x86-64 processors.

CONCLUSION
The HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is a great improvement over the manual system using case fields and paper. The computerization of the system has sped up the process. In the current system, the front office managing is very slow. The hospital managing system was thoroughly checked and tested with dummy data and thus is found to be very reliable.
ADVANTAGES
• It is fast, efficient and reliable
• Avoids data redundancy and inconsistency
• Very user-friendly
• Easy accessibility of data
• Number of personnel required is considerably less
• Provides more security and integrity to data
