DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

This chapter discuss the design and methodology of the proposed study, Inpatient Medical
Record System (IMRS). To carry out the system's development and implementation, it requires
the specification of the requirements, the usage of the development model, and the application's
graphical user interface.

METHODOLOGY

This study is to develop an Inpatient Medical Record System that can be implemented
and integrated in Doña Maria D. Tan Memorial Hospital. The system development life cycle
(SLDC), a conceptual model for project management, describes the phases of an information
system development project from initial feasibility to application maintenance. The Waterfall
Model from the SLDC was used as a guide for system development in this study. The Gane and
Sarson model also served as a reference for the researchers' Data Flow Diagram. In preparation
for installation, the researchers present the system's data flows. The researcher used a data flow
diagram as well as an entity relationship diagram. This model incorporates the following actions:

Planning
The researchers began by looking for a location to perform a thesis study and finally
opted to do a study on Inpatient Medical Records System. The researchers planned how to gather
data as well as how to arrange and manage time during the study interview. The researcher
structured their unique duty for carrying out the study. Data collection, analysis, design, and
testing are all part of the planning step.

System Analysis

The researchers conducted an interview with the Doña Maria D. Tan Memorial Hospital
in Tangub City. This is where the data originated from, which is why this project was required.
The interview includes a question on how the patient's personal information is presently
recorded. The researcher noticed that the workers had difficulty manually verifying the daily
patient record. After gathering data and examining the challenges, the researcher examined how
to give a viable response to the manual processes' worries.

System Design

The recommended system design phase is built on the patients, nurses, and physicians.
This step involved creating the system's design. It includes constructing an inpatient's profile and
medical history, documenting medical records on time, and preserving correct medical records.
The system will be designed to be useful and user-friendly.

Implementation

The system will be handed over to the user for execution and application at this phase.
This includes both the documentation and the program. The user must be instructed on how to
utilize the system for advice.

Testing

After completing the orientation on how the system works, researchers must send a test
sample to the user to check whether there are any faults or difficulties. If this is the case,
supporters will have a better grasp of the system and will be able to make modifications as
needed.

Deployment

The Inpatient Medical Record System will benefit both patients and practitioners by
improving communication. The strategy can help doctors assist people in enhancing their
knowledge and taking better care of their health. After passing the system panelists' requirements
and usability testing, the system will be installed at the chosen hospital, Doña Maria D. Tan
Memorial Hospital. If the system's objectives are met, the real-world setting where it was created
will serve as its ultimate testing ground.
Maintenance

This is the final stage of IMRS development, during which the developers will ensure
that the system remains stable and operational. Maintenance is essential for addressing issues,
eliminating mistakes, increasing performance, or adapting the system to a new environment.
