PROJECT OVERVIEW
Background of the Study
Technology, in all phase of mans activities, has become a vital
factor in satisfying man in ending needs and in achieving desirable
outputs with less effort but with more comfort compared with doing it
through traditional ways. Modern technologies are designed to provide
an interesting, accessible, convenient and more manageable time for
the user to help them do their work much easier. Thus, technology has
a big role in stimulating peoples work and making work much reliable
and acceptable.
Jinan Fiaidhi (2010) mentioned that Information Technology (IT)

Technology is indispensable and will continue to fuel further advances


in all facets of human endeavors. At the same time IT provides a
powerful foundation for tackling many problems that we face in the
21st century. These includes data modelling and prediction to help
manage deforestation of resource exploration. The people witnessed
rapid advances in IT recent years, and further advances in IT will help
solve many problems in the future.

In addition, (L.Schneider et al, 2009) said that computerization


becomes a major contribution to the growth of many nations in the
world. Computers do things fast especially in acquiring and managing
information. The success of organization depends on its ability to
acquire accurate and timely data about its operation, to manage this
data effectively, and to analyse its own activities for decision making
purpose.
Computers are also used in the various fields of specialization
most especially in medical researches, patient records. The computers
are used in preparing inventories of drugs and medical equipment.
According to Kavita Medical Centre, Lucknow (K. M. C) is a
prestigious hospital situated in the heart of HazratGanj, Lucknow, India
with a very large patient capacity. Its rich medical store serves to the
purpose of the medicines of the patients who visit the hospital. The
medical store is facing problems in maintaining its inventory and
keeping its relations up-to-date with its suppliers. The medical store
issues medicines to the patients and also receives the unused
medicines in good condition from the patients to minimize wastage.
With increasing number t patients this record keeping has become a
burden and is no longer sustainable with the current manual system. It,
therefore, badly needs an improved and efficient computerized system
for maintaining its inventory and purchase activities.

The hospital treats both indoor patients and outdoor patients. It


has to maintain full information of the indoor patients as well as
outdoor patients for the purpose of historical use. Doctors who serve to
the hospital are the regular employees of the hospital; however,
sometimes external doctors are used to handle complicated cases. So
the hospital needs to maintain its doctors records separately along
with the records of its other employees. All these operations are
getting unmanageable day by day because of their stiff rise in data.
The senior management of the hospital invest into a computerized
hospital management and information system which keep the records
of its patients, employees, medical store, doctors etc. and also to able
handle its complete accounting.
In the Philippines setting, the computing history of the Philippine
Heart Center has proven its capacity to maintain its vision to be
premiere institution to take care of the cardiovascular problems and
related disease. Ever since, it has constantly expanded and utilized
technology in providing better services to its clientele. The Philippine
Heart Center for Asia (PHCA) has been using a computer for its
business operations, particularly for its patients billing. With the
purchase of its first general-purpose computer, programs were
developed to automate the process of Discharging of Check-up
Package/Medical Patients, Notice of Directory (G. Manzano et al, 2007).

the

Philippines premier hospital started operations in 1969, and is now a


469-bed tertiary hospital that provides sophisticated diagnostic,
medical and surgical facilities. With patient wellness in mind, they
provide high-quality healthcare services through integrated specialty
centers operated by highly qualified physicians and nurses, as well as
technical and management staff, sustained by well-developed research
and training programs and enabled by state-of-the-art professional
equipment and specialized tools. MMC upgraded their HMIS to further
improve the quality service both its patients and hospital professionals
(Indra IT multinational, 2012).
Meanwhile at province hospitals, the Nazareth General Hospital is
one of the competitive hospital in Dagupan City that provides state of
the art medical equipment, better and sufficient services and well
trained medical personnel. The institution always aims to be the edge
of technology and opportunities for enhancement and change. This
institution has grabbed the opportunity of its technology compliance
for patients with the computer based system. The online Patients
Information System with Computerized Medical Transcription provides
better solutions on the current procedures of the hospitals personnel
and generate a long term benefits between their patients and clients
(B. Almerol, 2007).

clinical system comprises an electronic patient record which forms the
core of the system and links all other departments in the hospital.
Hospital Management System includes discharge summary with
reports or diagnostic test, vitals, doctors notes along with medication
administered and billing information (Reyes et.al. 2009).
Furthermore, Patients Information System of Region 1 Medical
Center is utilized as part of the study regarding usability of the system.
The system covers the in-patient and out-patient registration, medical
records, medical report and survey of diseases. The system evaluated
by using the usability questionnaire or WAMMMI or Website Analysis

Importance of the Study


The Barangay San Nicolas Community Health Center Information
System will not only be beneficial to the organization but also to the
patients and the institution. In undertaking this proposed study, the
proponents also take consideration to the other beneficiaries as well.
To Community Health Center. This proposed system once
implemented will not only promote the institution as a highly
competitive institution when it comes to information technology but
also help in promoting health care. They will have a fast and reliable
data presented to the patients.
To the Barangay Health Worker. The system could be of great
help to the Barangay San Nicolas, Villasis, Pangasinan Health Center
especially to the Barangay Health Workers. The previously stated
problem encountered in use of manual system would be addressed
levelling the quality and standard of their work, meeting the patients
expectation and needs. These would boost their performance bringing
the better service and causing a constant and consistent progress.
To the Patient. This will help the patient have a faster transaction
on different processes in Barangay Community Health Center.
To the Proponents. Through the proposed system, the proponents
will be able to learn not just by theories but through applications. The
Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

proposed study allowed the proponents to determine the appropriate


methodology, tools and features in developing a system.
To the Future Proponents. In undertaking this proposed system,
the proponents also take in consideration the future students who will
undertake the same proposed study or related studies and use for their
future references.

Scope and Delimitations


The main purpose of the proposed system is to develop an Information
System of Barangay San Nicolas Community Health Center and to
enhance the companys performance in giving a quality service to the
people.
This study focuses primarily on monitoring patients information
including

management,

Medical record and Inventory Management. The system generates


reports to monitor the number of in-patient and out-patient records
and searching patients profile/records such as patients visit history
and medical records. The system generates reports to monitor the
number of in-patient and out-patient every day.
On the other hand, medicine inventory are also included in the
proposed system wherein it can monitor the stocks of the medicine
Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Project Overview | 10

and it can identify the items that are in a critical state. However, the
proponents limit the features of the proposed system to the
Midwife/Nurse and Barangay Health workers only.
The study does not include the scheduling of appointments and
room management.

METHODOLOGY
Software Development Methodology
A software development Methodology or a system development
methodology in a software engineering is a framework that is used to
structure, plan, and control the process of developing an information
system.
A wide variety of such framework have evolved over the years,
each of this has strengths and weaknesses. Each methodology is best
suited to specific kind of projects based on various technical,
organizational and team considerations.
Agile

Approach is

an

iterative,

team-based

approach

to

development. This approach emphasizes the rapid delivery of an


application in complete functional components. Rather than creating
tasks and schedules, all time is time-boxed into phases called
sprints. Each sprint has a defined duration (usually in weeks) with a
running

list

of

deliverables,

planned

one

sprint

in

advance.

Deliverables are prioritized by business value as determined by the


customer. If all planned work for the sprint cannot be completed, work
is reprioritized and the information is used for future sprint planning.
As work is completed during each sprint, it is continuously reviewed
and evaluated by the customer, who may be considered the most

Methodology | 13

critical member of the agile team. As a result, Agile relies on a very


high level of customer involvement throughout the project.
The proponents start off with a simplistic project design, and
then begin to work on small modules. The work on these modules is
done in weekly or monthly sprints, and at the end of each sprint,
project priorities are evaluated and tests are run. These sprints allow
for bugs to be discovered, and customer feedback to be incorporated
into the design before the next sprint is run.
The process, with its lack of initial design and steps, is often
criticized for its collaborative nature that focuses on principles rather
than process.
Agile Unified Process (AUP) is a simplified version of the Rational
Unified Process (RUP) developed by Scott Ambler. It describes a simple,
easy to understand approach to developing business application
software using agile techniques and concepts yet still remaining true to
the RUP. The AUP applies agile techniques including test-driven
development (TDD), Agile Modeling (AM), agile change management,
and database refactoring to improve productivity.
In 2011 the AUP accounted for one percent of all the Agile
Methodologies

used.

In

2012

the

AUP

was

superseded

Disciplined (DAD). Since then work has ceased on evolving AUP.

Model. Understand the business of the organization, the problem
domain being addressed by the project, and identify a viable solution
to address the problem domain.
In this phase, the proponents conducted initial data gathering to
determine the clients needs with the use of the existing system and to
define the objectives of the proposed system. The proponents went to
the Health Center to interview the Midwife and observe them while
they are having their transactions with their clients. The proponents
ask for the list of medicines and also the copy of their patients list. The
proponents surf the internet to look for some information related to the
proposed system. The proponents were required to gather all possible
data during this phase in order to properly design the system.
Implementation. Transform model(s) into executable code and
perform a basic level of testing, in particular unit testing.
On receiving system design documents, the work is divided in
modules/units and actual coding is started. The system first developed

Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Methodology | 15

in small programs called units, which are integrated in the next phase.
Each unit is developed and tested for its functionality; this is referred
to as Unit Testing. Unit testing mainly verifies if the module/units meet
their specifications.
In this phase, the proponents started the actual coding. The
proponents studied and separated the design into a set of programs or
program units. These programs are significant in creating the study.
The codes are combined and defined its functions. Each code had its
own functions in developing the system. The codes will be tested in the
next phase.
Test. Perform an objective evaluation to ensure quality. This
includes finding defects, validating that the system works as designed,
and verifying that the requirements are met.
From coding, the proponents tested the system. In this phase,
the proponents run the system. The proponents tested the functions of
each program code. The proponents checked the system and came up
with

result

that

is

already

successfully

met

the

required

specifications. The system can now be delivered to the Health Center


and will be maintain in the last phase of the model.
Deployment. Plan for the delivery of the system and to execute
the plan to make the system available to end users.

Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Methodology | 16

In this phase, the proponents studied that these activities can


occur at the producer side or at the consumer side or both. Because
every software

system is

unique,

the

precise processes or procedures within each activity can hardly be


defined. Therefore it should be interpreted as a general process that
has

to

be

customized

according

to

specific

requirements

or

characteristics.
Configuration Management. Manage access to project artifacts.
This includes not only tracking artifact versions over time but also
controlling and managing changes to them.
In this phase, the proponents practice of handling changes
systematically so that a system maintains its integrity over time.
Proponents implements the policies, procedures, techniques, and tools
that are required to manage, evaluate proposed changes, track the
status of changes, and to maintain an inventory of system and support
documents as the system changes. Proponents programs and plans
provide technical and administrative direction to the development and
implementation

of

the

procedures,

functions,

services,

tools,

processes, and resources required to successfully develop and support


a complex system.
Project Management. Direct the activities that take place within
the project. This includes managing risks, directing people (assigning
Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Methodology | 17

tasks, tracking progress, etc.), and coordinating with people and


systems outside the scope of the project to be sure that it is delivered
on time and within budget.
In this phase, the proponents execute projects effectively and
efficiently.
Environment. Support the rest of the effort by ensuring that the
proper process, guidance (standards and guidelines), and tools
(hardware, software, etc.) are available for the team as needed.
In this phase, it is intended to improve software quality and
responsiveness

to

changing

customer

requirements.

Generally,

problems with the system developed come up after its practical use
starts, so the issues related to the system are solved after deployment
of the system.

Data Gathering Techniques


This identifies the details of the system functions such as: the
people who are involved, the business activity that had taken place,
and on the system procedures had been performed.
Interview. An interview is "a formal face-to-face meeting,
especially, one arranged for the assessment of the qualifications of an
applicant, as for employment or admission.... A conversation, as one

Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Methodology | 18

conducted by a reporter, in which facts, or statements are elicited from


another." (The American Heritage Dictionary, Second College Edition)
The proponents prepared a request letter signed by the teams adviser
and also signed by the dean of the College of Computer Studies,
addressed to the Barangay Health Center of San Nicolas to conduct an
interview to the Midwife and Barangay Health Workers of the Health
Center on how the process and flow of the system will going to work,
and on how the Health Center can be a part of the system. The
proponents used this method to gather relevant information from the
Head Nurse/Midwife together with the Barangay Health Workers, and
some patients from Barangay San Nicolas Community Health Center.
Data Analysis. Is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming,
and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information,
suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision-making. Data analysis
has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques
under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social
science domains.
This method of data gathering was made through analyzing the
information gathered in early collection of files used in the manual
system. The proponents gathered manual forms such as out-patient
medical records, admission/discharge forms, information file and other

Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Methodology | 19

related files to be acquainted with the type of records and files created
and maintained by the staff in the Health Center.
Observation. This method involves examining procedures as they
are carried out. The analyst observes how work and procedures are
carried out with the existing system, and this enables the analyst to
witness first-hand how the work is actually done and what it involves.
In this method, the proponents did some observations regarding the
current process of profiling information of the patients in the Health
Center on how the flow of the manual system, to point what areas are
to be improved or changed through own experiences of the proponents
to be precise in making an accurate, reliable, and efficient system to
be applied.
Library Research. Library research is conducted in a library in a
university, college library where people can search catalogs, stacks,
book or magazines, or microfiche looking for information on all kinds of
topics to include in theses. Good luck.
The proponents did some research from the book of stored in the
library authored by previous group who took up Bachelor of Science in
Information Technology served as a guide and reference material for
the proponents.

Tools for Data Analysis


Data analysis is the process of evaluating data using analytical
and logical reasoning to examine each component of the data
provided. The following are the tools for the proponents will be using:
Use Case Diagram. Use Case Diagram is a graphic depiction of
the interactions among the elements of a system which provides a
crystal clear presentation which enable the system analyst to see all
the user goals (use cases) and related and-users (actors).
The proponents used this because it is simple and easy to
understand that it can portray the different types of users in a system
in a approachable manner and to get the various ways that will enable
Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Methodology | 21

interaction with the system. Then, helping the proponents come up


with an overall view of the system.
Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart, developed by
Henry Gantt in the 1910s, that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt
charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and
summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary
elements comprise the work breakdown structure of the project.
This tool will help the proponents to create a chart to show the
scheduled and completed work over a period of time wherein the
proponents will make a time frame from start date, duration and end
date of the activities for the proposed system.
Entity-Relationship Diagram. An entity-relationship diagram to a
data modelling technique that creates a graphical representation of the
entities, and the relationships between entities, within an information
system (Rouse, 2007).
The proponents utilized this because it is easy to use with
regards on describing the database relation. Furthermore, with the help
of this tool, the proponents can provide images on how the tables
should connect, and what fields are going to be on each table.
Data Flow Diagram. The data flow diagram is a graphical
representation of the data flow through an information system. It

Brgy. San Nicolas Community Health Center Information System

Methodology | 22

enables you to represent this process in your information systems from


the viewpoint of data. It lets you visualize how the system operates,
what system accomplishes and how it will be implemented, when it is
refined with further specification.
The proponents usually begin withdrawing a context diagram, a
simple representation of the whole system. To elaborate further from
that, proponents drill down to a level 1 diagram with additional
information about the major functions of the system. This could
continue to evolve to become a level 2 diagram when further analysis
is requirements.
Database Schema. Is a collection of meta-data that describes the
relations in a database. A schema can be simply described as the
"layout" of a database or the blueprint that outlines the way data is
organized into tables. Schema are normally described using SQL as a
series of create statements that may be used to replicate the schema
in a new database (M. Chapple, 2014).
This tool will help the proponents to create a blueprint on how to
construct or develop the database of the system.

Chapter 3
THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
The functional requirement defines a function of a system and its
components. A function is described as a set of inputs, the behavior,
and outputs. Functional requirements may be calculations, technical
details,

data

manipulation

and

processing

and

other

specific

functionality that define what a system is supposed to accomplish.


Behavioral requirements describing all the cases where the system
uses the functional requirements are captured in use cases.
The non-functional requirement is a requirement that specifies
criteria that can be used to judge the operation of a system, rather
than specific behaviors. This should be contrasted with functional
requirements that define specific behavior or functions. The plan for
implementing functional requirements is detailed in the system design.

Functional Requirements
Functional requirements define the required behavior of the
system to be built, as reported by a hypothetical observer envisioning
that the future system will accept and the outputs it will produce in
response to those inputs. Functional requirements includes: (1) view all
user of the system; (2) delete accounts that register in the system; (3)

The Proposed System | 24

add patient and medical record; (4) update the patients record; (5) add
medicine; (6) update medicine inventory.
View all the user of the system. This requirements would allow
the administrator to view all the account of the user who access the
system.
Delete accounts

that are registered in the system.

This

requirements would allow the administrator to delete an existing


account in the system.
Add patient and medical record. This requirements would allow
the user to add patient and its medical record in the system.
Update the patient medical record. This requirements would
allow the user update the patients record.
Add medicine. This requirements would allow the user to add
medicine in the inventory system.
Update the medicine inventory. This requirements would allow
the user update the medicine inventory.
Non-Functional Requirements
Non-functional requirements specify additional properties of the
system

Non-functional

requirements can be subcategorized into categories such as external


interface requirements, performance requirements, design constraints,

The Proposed System | 25

logical database requirements, and characteristics that dont fit


neatly unto any of the other categories. Non-functional requirements
include: (1) security; (2) performance; and (3) maintainability.
Security. The develop system has security module to avoid
unauthorized access of system.
Performance. (1) Response time application loading, screen
open and refresh times, etc. (2) Processing times functions, imports,
exports. (3) Query and Reporting times initial loads and subsequent
loads.
Maintainability. Conformance to architecture standards what

by

the

developer in this study for the entire user to access it with some
requirements or security to maintain the availability and maintenance
of the system. The availability was created to achieve the common
goals of the researcher.
In this system, a user must have a log-in name and a password,
and users can be managed added, deleted and updated. Different
users will have access to specific modules. For instance, a midwife will
have a wider scope of access, even to all the modules, as the one who
must have interface with the patients. There will be accounts that will
