INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
In the recent year, the method of carrying out test has been a tedious work. The growth in technology has brought good news to mankind through the introduction of factor modern life, lending a high technology aspect to many things. Today the computer pervades every aspect of business procedures as well as transforming each operation it touches into a system of some sort. We have the accounting system, payroll system and office system being controlled by computer. Computer is used in the research institutes. Computers are used to process information in data banks which are used to store facts about movies reviews. Criminals’ legal precedents and economic statics engineering data.
According to William C. Shiel Jr (2016) Diagnosis is the nature of a disease; the Identification of an illness
From all indication, it is believed that live in a society that has to be computerized in order not to be left behind in this computer age. Hospitals are one of the most essential areas so it has to be managed in a very efficient way. The modernization of information technology has created easiness in each and every area including medical sector such as menstruation/pregnancy diagnosing system.
In Nigeria, ninety percent of government and privately owned hospital still use file systems to store their day to day activities and information; thereby putting at risk the loss of information should any of the files get missing. With this problem in mind, the Nigeria government passed a law in 2011 requiring all government and privately owned hospitals must be digitalized by the end of 2014 at the latest so as to avoid any information loss and to centralize the health in- formation of all Nigerians. What makes a hospital a special facility? Firstly, it is a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week facility and furthermore, a mistake in a hospital can cost the life of a human being. Pregnancy diagnosing system is all-inclusive, incorporated system that can single-handed manage medical, financial, management, and laws related to a hospital and its service handling. Pregnancy diagnosing system is a complicated task and needs a extensive details support system. It is meant to provide the Administration and Staff, with information in real-time to make their work more interesting and less stressing.
The scope of the service in Paragon Hospital and Maternity Onitsha is basically curative and preventive and is offered in clinic unit x-ray/ ultra sound, laboratory and Optometrist unit in the hospital. Other services include admission (ward) inpatient (where drugs are issued), physiotherapy and family planning. The hospital offers 24 hours services to its staff and the entire population
Paragon Hospital and Maternity Onitsha which was establish over ten years ago has been saddled with such duties of carrying out a properly diagnosing of menstruation period/pregnancy test. The study examines the main issues and problems facing Paragon Hospital and Maternity Onitsha. The manual system of diagnosing pregnancy issues, make use of excessive blood and urine, it is time consuming and delivering message which cannot be properly addressed. The center needs the computerized system which involved the use of electronic device that are capable of handling large amount of record efficiently at a very high speed.
The planning monitoring and evolution of health service are impaired by the death of reliable data on a nation scale. More important, the present state of health information is due to the absence of an organized and purposeful diagnosing system in various hospital and health center.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The manual system of diagnosing menstruation period/pregnancy issues is time consuming and involves hand delivering of message which cannot properly addressed the hospital needs. Hence the need for a more efficient and effective means that are likely to emulate from the introduction of computerized diagnosing system.
1.3 Aim and Objectives
The aim of the study is to design a computerized system that will help in diagnosing Pregnancy symptoms you test which help to determine the disease that affect the rate flow of menstruation period and the solution to solve the problem.
1.4 Significance of the Study
This project work is done for Paragon Hospital and Maternity Onitsha, by the implementation of this software, health care will be best facilities and the necessary information will be stored. Customers will expert full service after the implementation of this software. There will be no doubt that menstruation/pregnancy diagnosing in the hospital will be done more efficient and effective.
1.5 Scope of the Study
This project involves the analysis of the manual system in carrying out pregnancy test/menstruation period test and show difficulties encountered in designing computerized diagnosing system which is usable in term of cost. Improvement of diagnosing system and accurate presentation of result test, and reduce time consuming in checking of pregnancy test.
1.6 Limitation of the Study
In the due process of designing this work, some problems hindered the successful presentation of the work. This includes,
- Time constraint
- Inadequate capital
- Non-availability of research material
