Abstract
Laboratory department which is responsible of microscopic examination of specimens to establish the etiology (cause of disease) e.g. pus, urine, blood, testing for HIV (human immune virus), grouping and cross matching of blood in case of transfusion. X-ray department which is concerned with taking x-rays to establish or confirm what the patient is suffering from after clinical examination, hysterosalpingogram which a procedure is done to unblock the fallopian tubes in infertile people. Dental department whose activities are extracting of decayed teeth, polishing and filling of teeth, carrying out dental operations, health education on oral hygiene. The manual file-based system being used. it proves hard for the hospital, to keep track of the number of patients treated by the hospital, to speed up records storage. retrieval of records and to follow the trend of its patient’s illnesses among other things. These limitations are caused by the large amount of paperwork involved, as a result of the large number of patients and the filing system used which involves physical files and files cabinets. The above problems led to the need for further studies of the system to come up with a solution to the problem.
