CHAPTER ONE  

INTRODUCTION

Medical care has increased its extent, direction and purpose. It is continually evolving in response to perceive needs and demands. The management of health care delivery and services involves considerable amount of medical records and managerial data, which have to be collected, stored, selectively retrieved, updated and statistically analyzed. With the rapidity growth of modern technology, especially computer technology in all fields of human endeavour, i.e professionals, scientist, education, industrial and even government activities, e.t.c. necessitate the need for various sectors of the economy to be acquainted with at least basic knowledge of computer application in their day to day operations. Therefore medical diagnosis and theraphy system involves the state of medical knowledge of a particular disease, patient history, patient examination and drugs remedy. The standing orders which are disease symptom, patient history, patient examination, diagnosis and therapy which is called the hierarchical order gives basic health workers legal protection for providing primary health care.

They facilitate a knowledge bank and timely recall of accurate information about specific disease for the purpose of accurate diagnosis and therapy, also to provide standard procedures for health care delivery and evaluation.

1.1    AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The aims of this project includes:

i.  To help in bringing about the best, most efficient and effective way of medical diagnosis and therapy system.

ii.  To examine the need for an automated medical diagnosis and therapy system

iii.  To help in providing a systematic framework for history taking

iv  To help in talking patient problem more easier

v. To facilitate a knowledge bank and timely recalled for accurate information about specific diseases.

1.2     THE OBJECTIVES OF EACH CHAPTER ARE:          

Chapter one: Present the introduction of the course

Chapter two: review of the Nigeria National basic Health Service scheme (NNBHSS).

Chapter three: Present the system design, input design and output design          
Chapter four: Present the analysis, implementation and documentation of medical diagnosis.          
Chapter five: Some conclusions are drawn after which the flowchart and program follows.  
1.3     METHODOLOGY
Below are the methods used in collecting data during my research. These includes.
INTERVIEW: I went to the hospital used as my case study. I did some interview with the head of department of medical diagnosis and therapy system to get some data used in this project. BROWSING: I browse through the interest to get some information which I need in my project. I browse the medical website (http://www.medical.co.uk)

i.        Its main or event driven programming language
ii.       It support active X data object
iii.      It posses flexible and reliable data base management system
iv.      Its object oriented in nature
v.       Its support API i.e Application programming interface which provides an interactive graphic user interface.
vi.      Anti-virus for removal and deleting of virus on the disk or any other software that can function in the same way.
Note: Window 98 is used because it offer 32 bit multi-tasking capabilities likewise window 95.
