PROBLEM STATEMENT
1. Current Issues with Traditional Hospital Management
Systems
Traditional hospital management systems face several challenges that impact
their efficiency and effectiveness:

 Manual Data Entry: Existing systems often rely heavily on manual data
entry, leading to potential errors and inconsistencies in patient records and
appointment scheduling.
 Lack of Integration: These systems typically operate in isolation, making
integration with other healthcare systems or external devices difficult. This
results in fragmented and sometimes outdated patient information.
 Outdated User Interfaces: Many traditional systems feature outdated
interfaces that are not user-friendly, causing inefficiencies and difficulties
for hospital staff in navigating and utilizing the system.
 Limited Reporting and Analytics: Current systems may offer limited
capabilities for generating comprehensive reports and analytics, which
hinders informed decision-making and tracking of key performance metrics.

2. Problems with Existing Web-Based Systems

Although modern web-based systems provide several improvements, they still
encounter issues:

 Data Security and Privacy Concerns: Ensuring the security and privacy of
patient data remains a significant challenge. Risks include data breaches
and non-compliance with regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act).
 Complexity of Implementation: Integrating web-based systems with
existing healthcare workflows and infrastructure can be complex and
resource-intensive, requiring considerable time and effort.
 Cost Considerations: The initial setup and ongoing maintenance costs of
advanced web-based systems can be high, potentially limiting their
accessibility for smaller or less-resourced healthcare facilities.
