Description
Record keeping for patient appointments and patient medical records has always been a challenge. It becomes increasingly complex as an organization grows because there is more information to be managed and more people are involved in the data manipulation process. As we live in an era where information is essential, a proper system needs to be implemented to efficiently use the information available to the organization. This case study examined the replacement process of the Open Door Health Center's paper based system by an integrated computer solution to achieve a more efficient and resourceful use of information. Three parts of this process are examined: 1) the growth of the organization that created a need for an electronic system; 2) the identification of system requirements, including the challenges faced during software selection; 3) the implementation status and benefits the new system will provide.
