Hospital Management System (HMS) is a software application designed to simplify hospital operations by digitising patient and staff records. Traditional systems rely on manual paperwork, which is time-consuming and error-prone. The proposed system is developed using Java and MySQL to manage patient registration, staff details, and appointment scheduling efficiently.
The system provides role-based access through separate dashboards for Admin, Doctor, and Receptionist, ensuring better organisation and security. It uses Java Swing for the graphical user interface and JDBC for database connectivity. The system supports basic operations, including adding, updating, deleting, and viewing records.
Overall, the system reduces paperwork, improves data accuracy, and enhances efficiency. It is user-friendly and can be further improved by adding features such as billing and report generation.
The Hospital Management System effectively demonstrates how software can automate hospital operations. It provides an efficient way to manage patient records, staff details, and appointments while ensuring data accuracy and consistency.
The use of Java and MySQL makes the system reliable and easy to maintain. The project also helps in understanding concepts like database connectivity, GUI design, and event handling.
Overall, the system is a practical solution for modern hospitals and can be enhanced further with additional features.
