The Appointment & Reservation
function provides functionality to
provide an appointment to the Consultants
for Outpatient visits and to make
a reservation for the rooms for both
inpatient and day cases. In the Outpatient
department the patient may visit for
a consultation. In the Outpatient
appointments, the appointment for
the patient is fixed with the Consultant
but in the reservation Room, Anesthetist
and Consultant slots are reserved
for the patient.
The following are the sub functions
associated with this function:

Appointments
Under Appointment, a consultant is
being booked for consultation in the
hospital. During their visit, the
patients may be provided with the
services like consultation, investigation
and minor surgery. So, patient is
suggested to meet a good consultant.
In the case of Elective surgery, the
patient may directly request for an
appointment with a consultant.
Appointments can be made via various
sources. |

Consultations
Each day of the week has been divided
into 3 time blocks as mentioned:
8:00 am - 12:00 pm
12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Each of these blocks is further divided
into 12 sub-blocks of 20 minutes each.
These time blocks for 22 Consulting
Clinics are allotted to different
consultants. The allocation of the
time block is made at the time of
reservation.
The above mentioned time for consultant
allocation only for an example, these
are parameterized.
So, during the meeting with consultant,
patient is provided to meet a good
doctor. Consultant keeps the notes
about symptom, disease etc of the
patient. Consultant will be looking
for a doctor, checking the doctor
schedule. |

Waiting area
Patient will be waiting in a big waiting
area and then a small waiting area.
The queuing system would be such a
view, the patient who has come with
appointment; he/she will be prior
to meet doctor if they come in schedule
time, and the walk in patient who
has come without appointment, he will
be waiting for doctor schedule if
any patient with appointment does
not come in that schedule or doctor
gets time after visiting all scheduled
patient, then only he/she (without
appointment) will be able to meet
doctor, otherwise he will be waiting
for next schedule. And if any patient
with appointment comes after schedule
time, then he/she will be treated
as walk in patient. |

Visiting doctor
Once patient meets doctor, doctor
prescribes the medicine and the process
how to take the medicine. But doctor

may write in a paper only. So, that
hardcopy would be scanned by nurse
and pass to the pharmacy. |

Pharmacist functions
There are three levels on pharmacy.
First level would be able to see
the scan document that relates to
the patient. Let say doctor has
written that he needs three medicine
a b and c. What this person will
do who is in first level, use the
barcode and find that medicine.
The first person will just scan
the medicine and select the medicine
usage code as written by doctor
in hardcopy (1spoon before breakfast
all these details). First pharmacist
won’t enter the quantity. She/he
will then pass on the medication
to next person in front of her/his.
That second person screen should
be able to see only the form carrying
details of medicine name that scan
and medicine use and quantity is
blank. Second person will count
the medicine what are given to her/his
and enter quantity and print out
the sticker and put it on each medicine
cover then she/he will pass it on
to the next person who will be explaining
the medication instructions to the
patient. This person screen will
be able to see the scanned document
and with the other screen that contains
medication name and instructions
and quantity. Now she/he will again
count the medicine and double check
the quantity written on the screen.
If the quantity written on screen
and given doesn’t match she/he will
edit it. But the system should be
able to take note and end of the
day print out the edit information,
what was written before and after
and why. And finally from third
party, patient takes the delivery
of medicine.
While
second person was counting the medicine
and passed to the third person,
the delivery man at cash counter
will arrange the medicine and bill
and call the patient. Patient would
receive 2 copy of bill and the person
sitting in cash counter would keep
one copy.
Then patient would come to the third
pharmacist to collect the medicine
and give him/her a copy of bill. |
