Project Overview

The Patient Record Management System (PRMS) is a comprehensive application designed to manage the healthcare records of patients efficiently and securely. The system aims to provide healthcare providers with a centralized platform for storing, updating, and retrieving patient information, enabling better patient care and improving the overall management of healthcare records.

PRMS helps healthcare professionals maintain a detailed, organized record of patients, including personal information, medical history, appointments, diagnoses, treatments, and prescriptions. By integrating various features such as user roles, secure access control, and real-time data processing, PRMS aims to streamline healthcare operations and improve the overall experience for both healthcare providers and patients.

Features

• Patient Information Management: Store and manage patient details such as name, age, gender, contact information, medical history, allergies, and more.
• Appointment Scheduling: Schedule, view, and update patient appointments, with automated reminders.
• Medical History: Track and maintain a detailed history of patient diagnoses, treatments, surgeries, and other health records.
• Prescriptions: Manage patient prescriptions, including medications, dosages, and treatment plans.
• Doctor and Patient Dashboards: Separate dashboards for doctors and patients to view and manage information tailored to their roles.
• Search and Filter: Search and filter patient records by various criteria (name, date of birth, diagnosis, etc.).
• User Roles: Different user roles such as Admin, Doctor, and Patient, with specific access levels for each.
• Data Security: Ensure that patient records are encrypted and stored securely with access controls to protect sensitive data.
• Reporting and Analytics: Generate reports and analyze patient data for better decision-making.

Technologies Used

• Backend Framework: C# with .NET Core
• Database: Microsoft SQL Server
• Payment Integration: Paystack API
• APIs: RESTful services
• Authentication: Secure role-based access control
• Collaboration Features: In-app messaging

Installation

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your local machine:

• .NET Core SDK (for the backend)
• Microsoft SQL Server (for development and testing)
• Git (for version control)

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/PRMS.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd PRMS

3. Install dependencies for the backend:

   cd backend
   dotnet restore

4. Configure environment variables:

   • Create a .env file in the backend directory and add your database URL, API keys, etc.

5. Start the backend server:

   dotnet run

6. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:5000 to access the backend.

Usage

Once the system is up and running, users can:

• Admin Users: Manage patient records, view all appointments, generate reports, and assign user roles.
• Doctors: Add and update patient diagnoses, manage prescriptions, view patient medical history, and schedule appointments.
• Patients: View personal information, appointments, prescriptions, and contact their doctor.

Example Use Cases

1. Patient Registration: A patient can be registered with personal details and medical history. The admin can add new patients through the system.

2. Appointment Scheduling: A doctor can schedule and manage appointments with patients, with automatic notifications to both the doctor and the patient.

3. Medical Record Update: Doctors can update patient records with new diagnoses, prescriptions, and medical procedures.
