Pediacare: A clinic information management system for pediatricians

Abstract

Tasks of pediatricians is not easy for they have so many appointments to be attended. Secretaries were hired to do the tasks that doctors or pediatricians can’t do. Sometimes clinics cannot accommodate patients for some tasks.

The PediaCare System was develop to help pediatricians make work easier for secretaries, patients, and doctors. Before developing the system, the team conducted interview with at least three clients. The result of the interview were the basis of developing the system to meet the needs of patients, doctor and secretary.

The methodology used in developing the system is the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model. RAD is a development life cycle designed to give much faster development and higher quality system than the traditional life cycle.

The PediaCare System is available for future researchers who might want to propose a relative system, provided that additional features should be added.

The team believes that the system can be a big help to Pediatricians considering the main aspects that affects the storing, gathering of records and other general perspective towards their patient. Service rendered to the patients will be more efficient and systematized.
