HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2023-24
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview:
The Hospital Management System (HMS) project is a comprehensive web application developed
using Python and the Django web framework. Designed primarily for IT students in their first and
second years, this project provides a practical and interactive platform for managing hospital
operations. The system is divided into three main sections: Patient, Doctor, and Admin Panel, each
offering specific functionalities that mimic real-world hospital management scenarios. The project
aims to facilitate efficient handling of hospital records, appointments, patient management, and
administrative tasks, ensuring a smooth operational flow within a healthcare setting.
1.2 Existing system:
In many hospitals, the existing system for managing patient records, appointments, billing, and
administrative tasks is often manual or semi-automated. These systems are prone to errors,
inefficiencies, and data security issues. Patients often experience delays in appointments, and the
manual handling of records can lead to loss or misplacement of critical information. Doctors and
administrative staff face challenges in maintaining accurate records, managing patient data, and
ensuring timely updates. The existing systems lack integration, resulting in fragmented data and
communication gaps among hospital staff.
1.3 Proposed system:
The proposed Hospital Management System addresses the limitations of existing systems by
providing a fully automated, integrated web application. The system offers a user-friendly interface
with distinct panels for patients, doctors, and administrators. Patients can register, book
appointments, and view their medical records and bills online. Doctors can manage appointments,
access patient records, and update medical information with administrative approval.
Administrators have full control over the system, including approving requests, managing
appointments, generating bills, and maintaining comprehensive records of all hospital activities.
