A Computerized Hospital Portal for Digitalized Patient Records, Online Appointment Booking, And Healthcare Communication

ABSTRACT The Hospital Portal is a web-based application to manage healthcare developed as a front-end application using PHP and a back-end database using MySQL technology. Its primary aim is to ease healthcare's responsibilities by providing a web-based platform to connect patients, doctors and administrators. The administrator's role is to manage the platform and oversee the creation of patient and doctor profiles; monitor patient queries; and confirm that all medical information is accurate and reliable. The centralized management also confirms that patients are taking care of their healthcare needs systematically while promoting a positive healthcare experience. Patients are required to register on the portal and submit their basic details including name and telephone number. After they register, patients can access many services including making queries about disease or symptoms, viewing health-related remedies and treatments; searching specialist doctors; and booking online appointments. When patients require a face-to-face consultation, they must schedule an appointment using the system before coming to the hospital, which helps to lower their wait time in the hospital as well as promote a better coordinated healthcare system. This approach procedure gives the patients an organized, efficient, and convenient way to access healthcare services that are meant to improve their health care system experience. Doctors are also able to utilize the portal to manage their appointments, maintain records, and clearly respond to patient queries in a more condensed time period. The Hospital Portal improves the efficiency, transparency, and quality of care by incorporating essential features including appointment scheduling, medical records management Keywords- Hospital Management System, Online Appointment Booking, Healthcare Automation, Patient Registration, Data Privacy.
