Design and prototyping of a triage automation and management system (TAMS) for health centers III

Abstract

Patient management is a key element in the health sector as it helps the medical personnel to deal with patients in an orderly and timely manner, however, it is important to employ a well-designed system that is efficient with less human intervention so that the patients and medical personnel have the best experience while at the health facility and also in compliance with the standards of the ministry of health. Adoption of automated systems will solve the difficulties in the manual system that is currently being used in the different health centers in the country (Uganda). This report addresses the problems encountered at the health centers III in Uganda and how the implemented project solves them. The report can be quantified or classified into five chapters as below: Chapter one discusses the introduction, background, significance, problem statement, project objectives and scope. Chapter two discusses the literature review, related research, tools and materials used to carry out the research project. Chapter three discusses the methods used to achieve the main objective and specific objectives of the research. Chapter four discusses the results of the project. Chapter five discusses the conclusions, challenges and recommendations for future work.
