ABSTRACT
The study was aimed at designing a computer software for registration
of patient’s in FSDT&T clinic/laboratory. The work was reviewed
from text books, journals, website which highlights the process of
designing of designing the software using waterfall model method
requirement, design, implementation, installation and maintenance. Then
sing visual basic 6.0 and MSDN to create the interface, writing the code
and set the properties and Microsoft Access for the database.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION.
A computer is a piece of electronic equipment which accepts
input of data using pre-defined instructions known as computer programs
to execute the task in order to produce output (Anyaogu,2003).
According to Anyaogu, (2003), a computer program is a sequence of
logically valid instructions which tells the computer what it is
required to do. These programs or instructions are written in computer
language. Software can be defined as that ordered sequence of
instructions for changing the state of the computer hardware in a
particular sequence which is usually written in high-level programming
languages that are easier and more efficient for humans to use the
machine language (www.wikiepedia.com).
Dental software are written in an assembly language essentially a
mnemonic representation of machine language using natural language
alphabet and it is classified under application software which allows
end users to accomplish one or more specific task,
(www.freedictionary.com).
In accordance with 21st century technology treatment plan and
upgrading of equipment and record keeping in a particular format with
uploading of patient’s medical/dental history as they visit the dental
laboratory/ clinic is necessary. There is need to develop a soft record
of a particular patient/ client past history accessible whenever he/she
visit the laboratory/clinic brings about the development of a computer
aided software to store this record instead of the use of papers and
cards.
User written software are end-user development tailor-made systems to
meet user’s specific needs, example dental patient laboratory/clinic
registration software which helps in designing computer based
information system ranging from relatively simple data entry to
retrieval of jobs requiring long term analysis and planning.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In combating the lost of vital patient dental
documents/history in the laboratory/ clinic there is need to designing a
computer based software for the registration of dental patients. The
loss of these in formations is as a result of the following
· Poor information storage method: The use of office files
and file cabinet is not a good form of information storage those days.
· Insecurity of data because it is prone to vandalization and unauthorized accessibility.
· Duplication of data in various departments because of the nature of work needed.
It takes a long time in accessing records in the manual system due to
the nature of work in the clinic. It is always good for materials to
finish unnoticed.
1.3 AIMS OF THE STUDY.
The aim of this study is to design computer software for
the registration of dental patient in federal school of dental
technology and therapy clinic/laboratory.
Other aims of the work include the following
a) To work towards the elimination of ineffective modes of
operation. It centers on the user having a good atmosphere for work
thereby minimizing stress.
b) The objective from the initiator of the proposal is generally
towards combating all the problems discovered on the existing system,
which are listed under the problem of study.
c) Safeguarding of information through effective monitoring and
accessing of the storage data in given filling processing system (data
base).
1.4 LIMITATIONS AND DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY.
The hindrances that were faced during this project work are lack of finance to carryout the project effectively and efficiently.
Another hindrance was the location and availability of a programmer
to design the program. The high cost of a computer system and the
functions used in the design the software also posed some hindrances to
this project but later it was overcome when a functional computer set
was delivered to the programmer.
The academic work load and the time frame for the project work was also another hindrance.
