requirements from stakeholders.

 System Design: Create a high-level design of the system architecture, including

database schema, user interfaces, and data flow.

 Technology Selection: Choose appropriate technologies and frameworks based on

project requirements and constraints.

12
 Development: Implement the system components according to the design
specifications using chosen technologies.

 Testing: Conduct unit testing, integration testing, and system testing to ensure that
the system functions correctly and meets requirements.

 Deployment: Deploy the system to a testing environment for user acceptance

testing (UAT) and then to a production environment for actual use.

 Training and Adoption: Provide training to users and ensure smooth adoption of
the system within the hospital or healthcare facility.

 Monitoring and Maintenance: Monitor the system's performance, address any

issues or bugs, and perform routine maintenance tasks to keep the system running
smoothly.

 Feedback and Iteration: Gather feedback from users, analyze it, and make
necessary iterations or enhancements to improve the system's usability and
effectiveness.

Survey of technology:

 Programming Language: Java is chosen as the primary programming language

due to its platform independence, robustness, and extensive libraries for building
desktop applications.

 FXML: FXML (FXML Markup Language) is used for designing the user
interface (UI) layout in a declarative XML-based format. It allows for easy
separation of UI design from application logic and facilitates collaboration
between designers and developers.

 Database: SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for database management.

Specifically, MySQL can be employed as the relational database management
system (RDBMS) for storing and managing the hospital's data.

 CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): CSS is utilized for styling the UI components
and enhancing the visual appeal of the application. It enables customization of
fonts, colors, layouts, and other visual aspects of the user interface.

Feasibility Study:

A feasibility study is conducted to select the best system meets

performance requirement.

13
 The key consideration in feasibility analysis is:

 Economic Feasibility:

The proposed system is economically feasible because the cost

involved in purchasing that hardware and the software are within

approach. The personal cost like salaries of employees hired are

also nominal, because working in this system need not required a

highly qualified professional. The operating environment costs are

marginal. The less time involved also helps in its economical

feasibility.

 Technical Feasibility

Hardware used in this project are Intel Core i3 processor, 128 MB

RAM. 5GB hard disk, 1.44 floppy drives. These hardware were

already available on the existing computer system. The software

like Ms-SQL SERVER 2008, J2EE, and WIN XP, 7

operating system used were already installed on the existing. So, no

additional hardware and software were required to purchase and it is
technically feasible.

System Requirements:

 Hardware Requirements:
 PC with 40 GB hard disk
 PENTIUM 4 PROCESSOR
 256 MB DDRAM
 2.26 GHz CPU Speed

14
  Software Requirements:

Tools/Environment used in the Project:

Framework:

 Front-end framework: For the front-end development, we utilize

JavaFX, which includes FXML for defining the user interface and CSS
for styling. JavaFX provides a rich set of tools and components for
creating interactive user interfaces in Java applications.
 Back-end framework: Since JavaFX is primarily a front-end framework,
there is no specific back-end framework used in this project. However,
we integrate SQL for database operations to handle data management and
retrieval on the server side.

Database:

 We utilize SQL (Structured Query Language) for database management

in this project. SQL enables us to create, manage, and interact with
relational databases efficiently, ensuring data integrity and reliability.

Platform Used:

 The platform used for hosting the application includes Java Development
Kit (JDK) for JavaFX development and MySQL Server for database
management. Additionally, any operating system that supports Java and
MySQL can be used to deploy and run the application.

Frontend/Backend:

15
  Frontend: The frontend of the application is developed using JavaFX,
which includes FXML for defining the user interface layout and CSS for
styling the interface elements. JavaFX provides a platform-independent
framework for creating visually appealing and interactive user interfaces.
 Backend: While JavaFX is primarily a front-end framework, SQL is used
for backend database operations. SQL queries are executed on the server
side to interact with the database, handling data storage, retrieval, and
manipulation.

Data flow Diagrams:

Graphical description of system’s data and how the processes transform the data
is known as Data Flow Diagrams(DFD).

To construct DFD, we use:

 Arrows
 Circles
 Open- ended boxes
 Squares

Data flow diagrams (DFDs) reveal relationships among and between the various
components in a program or system. DFDs are an important technique for
modeling a system’s high-level detail by showing how input data is transformed
to output results through a sequence of functional transformations.

DFDs consist of four major components: entities, processes, data stores, and
data flows. The symbols used to depict how these components interact in a
system are simple and easy to understand, however, there are several DFD
models to work from, each having its own symbology. DFD syntax does remain
constant by using simple verb and noun constructs. Such a syntactical
relationship of DFDs makes them ideal for object-oriented analysis and parsing
functional specifications into precise DFDs for the systems analyst.

Data flow diagram is a graphical tool used to describe analyze the movement of
data through a system manual or automated including the processes, stores of
data and delays in the system. Data flow diagrams are the central tool and basis

16
for from which other components are developed. The data flow diagrams
illustrate how data is processed by a system in terms of inputs and output. Data
flow diagrams (DFDs) are the method of choice over technical descriptions for
three principal reasons.

1. DFDs are easier to understand by technical and non-technical

audiences
2. DFDs can provide a high level system overview, complete with
boundaries and connections to other systems.

3. DFD’s represent the following:

a) External devices sending and receiving data

b) Processes that change that data

c) Data flows themselves

d) Data storage locations

Context Diagram:

A context diagram is a top level (also known as level 0) data flow diagram. It
only contains one process node (process 0) that generalizes the function of the
entire system in relationship to external entities.

The top-level diagram is often called a “context diagram”. It contains a single

process, but it plays a very important role in studying the current system.

The context diagram defines the system that will be studied in the sense that it
determine the boundaries.

Anything that is not inside the process identified in the context diagram will not
be part of the system study.

17
It represents the entire software element as a single bubble with input and output
data advantages and disadvantages of DFDs.

System Components:

Symbolizes process

Symbolizes data flow

Symbolizes External entity

Symbolizes data store

Process:

Process shows what system does. A process is represented by a circle as shown

above. Each process is a unique number. Each process takes one or more data
inputs and produces one or more data outputs.

Data flows:

Data flows made the passage of data and are represented by the line joining the
system components. An arrow is used to indicate the direction of data flow
shown in the above and the line is labeled by the name of the data flow.

18
Data stores:

Data store is used to represent the repository of the data that maintains in the
system. A process can store data into a data store or retrieve the data from the
data store. A data store is represented by a thin line as shown in the above.

External Entities:

External entities are the outside the system but they either supply input into
system or use system output. The designer has to control over these entities.
These are represented by a square or rectangle outputs as shown in the above.

Software Requirements Specification:

The production of the requirements stage of the software

development process is Software Requirements Specifications
(SRS) (also called a requirements document). This report lays a
foundation for software engineering activities and is constructing
when entire requirements are elicited and analyzed. SRS is a
formal report, which acts as a representation of software that
enables the customers to review whether it (SRS) is according to
their requirements. Also, it comprises user requirements for a
system as well as detailed specifications of the system
requirements.

19
20
What is Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)?

SDLC is a process followed for software building within a software

organization. SDLC consists of a precise plan that describes how to develop,
maintain, replace, and enhance specific software. The life cycle defines a
method for improving the quality of software and the all-around development
process.

Stages of the Software Development Life Cycle:

Stage-1: Planning and Requirement Analysis

Planning is a crucial step in everything, just as in software development. In

this same stage, requirement analysis is also performed by the developers of the
organization. This is attained from customer inputs, and sales
department/market surveys.
The information from this analysis forms the building blocks of a basic
project. The quality of the project is a result of planning. Thus, in this stage,
the basic project is designed with all the available information.

21
Stage-2: Defining Requirements
In this stage, all the requirements for the target software are specified. These
requirements get approval from customers, market analysts, and stakeholders.
This is fulfilled by utilizing SRS (Software Requirement Specification). This is
a sort of document that specifies all those things that need to be defined and
created during the entire project cycle.

Stage-3: Designing Architecture

SRS is a reference for software designers to come up with the best architecture
for the software. Hence, with the requirements defined in SRS, multiple designs
for the product architecture are present in the Design Document Specification
(DDS).
This DDS is assessed by market analysts and stakeholders. After evaluating all
the possible factors, the most practical and logical design is chosen for
development.

22
Stage-4: Developing Product
At this stage, the fundamental development of the product starts. For this,
developers use a specific programming code as per the design in the DDS.
Hence, it is important for the coders to follow the protocols set by the
association. Conventional programming tools like compilers, interpreters,
debuggers, etc. are also put into use at this stage. Some popular languages like
C/C++, Python, Java, etc. are put into use as per the software regulations.

Stage-5: Product Testing and Integration

After the development of the product, testing of the software is necessary to
ensure its smooth execution. Although, minimal testing is conducted at every
stage of SDLC. Therefore, at this stage, all the probable flaws are tracked,
fixed, and retested. This ensures that the product confronts the quality
requirements of SRS.
Documentation, Training, and Support: Software documentation is an
essential part of the software development life cycle. A well-written document
acts as a tool and means to information repository necessary to know about
software processes, functions, and maintenance. Documentation also provides
information about how to use the product. Training in an attempt to improve
the current or future employee performance by increasing an employee’s
ability to work through learning, usually by changing his attitude and
developing his skills and understanding.

23
Stage 6: Deployment and Maintenance of Products
After detailed testing, the conclusive product is released in phases as per the
organization’s strategy. Then it is tested in a real industrial environment. It is
important to ensure its smooth performance. If it performs well, the organization
sends out the product as a whole. After retrieving beneficial feedback, the
company releases it as it is or with auxiliary improvements to make it further
helpful for the customers. However, this alone is not enough. Therefore, along
with the deployment, the product’s supervision.

24
Waterfall Model:
The classical waterfall model is the basic software development life
cycle model. It is very simple but idealistic. Earlier this model was very
popular but nowadays it is not used. But it is very important because all the
other software development life cycle models are based on the classical
waterfall model.

Features of Waterfall Model

 Sequential Approach: The waterfall model involves a sequential
approach to software development, where each phase of the project is
completed before moving on to the next one.
 Document-Driven: The waterfall model relies heavily on
documentation to ensure that the project is well-defined and the project
team is working towards a clear set of goals.
 Quality Control: The waterfall model places a high emphasis on quality
control and testing at each phase of the project, to ensure that the final
product meets the requirements and expectations of the stakeholders.
 Rigorous Planning: The waterfall model involves a rigorous planning
process, where the project scope, timelines, and deliverables are carefully
defined and monitored throughout the project lifecycle.

Phases of Waterfall Model

Waterfall Model is a classical software development methodology that was first
introduced by Winston W. Royce in 1970. It is a linear and sequential approach
to software development that consists of several phases that must be completed
in a specific order.
The Waterfall Model has six phases:
1. Requirements Gathering and Analysis: The first phase
involves gathering requirements from stakeholders and analyzing
them to understand the scope and objectives of the project.
2. Design Phase: Once the requirements are understood, the
design phase begins. This involves creating a detailed design
document that outlines the software architecture, user interface, and
system components.
3. Implementation and Unit Testing: The implementation
phase involves coding the software based on the design
specifications. This phase also includes unit testing to ensure that
each component of the software is working as expected.

25
4. Integration and System Testing: In the testing phase, the
software is tested as a whole to ensure that it meets the requirements
and is free from defects.
5. Deployment: Once the software has been tested and
approved, it is deployed to the production environment.

6. Maintenance: The final phase of the Waterfall Model is

maintenance, which involves fixing any issues that arise after the
software has been deployed and ensuring that it continues to meet
the requirements over time.

What is Gantt Chart?

A Gantt chart is a project management tool that illustrates work completed

over a period of time in relation to the time planned for the work. It
typically includes two sections: the left side outlines a list of tasks, while the
right side has a timeline with schedule bars that visualize work. The Gantt
chart can also include the start and end dates of tasks, milestones,
dependencies between tasks, and assignees. According to Gantt chart we
have completed our project in two months. Time to time progress of our
project is shown in the Gantt chart.

28
What is a PERT Chart?

PERT or the Program Evaluation and Review Technique is a method that

analyzes the time required to complete each task and its associated dependencies,
and to determine the minimum amount of time required to complete a certain
project. The process takes into consideration three different time estimates:

 Optimistic Time (To): The minimum amount of time required to complete

the project, assuming everything goes better than expected.

 Pessimistic Time (Tp): The maximum time required to complete the task,
assuming things go wrong.

 Most Likely Time (Tm): The most likely amount of time required to
complete the tasks, assuming everything goes alright.

ensuring seamless integration with existing systems and processes can be
challenging.

 Data Security and Privacy Concerns: Healthcare data is highly sensitive and
confidential, making data security and privacy a top priority. Hospital management
systems must comply with strict regulations, such as HIPAA (Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act), to safeguard patient information. However, the
risk of data breaches, cyber attacks, or unauthorized access remains a concern.

 User Resistance and Training: Transitioning to a new hospital management

system may face resistance from healthcare professionals who are accustomed to
traditional paper-based or legacy systems. Adequate training and support are
essential to ensure that users can effectively utilize the system and adapt to new
workflows.

 Scalability and Adaptability: Healthcare organizations need flexible and

scalable solutions that can accommodate changes in patient volume, medical
advancements, regulatory requirements, and organizational growth. Hospital
management systems must be adaptable to evolving needs and able to scale up or
down as necessary.

226
 Integration with External Systems: Hospital management systems often need
to integrate with various external systems, such as electronic health records
(EHRs), laboratory information systems (LIS), and billing systems. Ensuring
seamless interoperability and data exchange between different systems can be
complex and require standardization of data formats and protocols.

Security and Validation Checks:

Security and validation checks are essential components of any hospital
management system to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data,
as well as to prevent unauthorized access and malicious activities. Here are some
key security measures and validation checks that should be implemented:

1. Authentication and Authorization:

o Implement robust authentication mechanisms, such as
username/password authentication, multi-factor authentication
(MFA), or biometric authentication, to verify the identity of users
logging into the system.
o Utilize role-based access control (RBAC) to define and enforce access
permissions based on the roles and responsibilities of users within the
system.
o Ensure that sensitive operations, such as accessing patient records or
performing financial transactions, require appropriate authorization
from authorized personnel.
2. Data Encryption:
o Encrypt sensitive data, such as patient health records, passwords, and
financial transactions, both at rest and in transit, using strong
encryption algorithms (e.g., AES encryption) to protect against
unauthorized access and data breaches.
3. Input Validation:
o Implement input validation mechanisms to sanitize and validate user
input to prevent common security vulnerabilities such as SQL
injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and command injection attacks.
o Validate input data against predefined rules and formats (e.g., length,
format, range) to ensure that only valid and expected data is processed
by the system.
4. Secure Communication:

227
 o Use secure communication protocols such as HTTPS (HTTP over
SSL/TLS) to encrypt data transmitted between the client and server,
protecting against eavesdropping and data interception.
o Implement secure APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) with
authentication tokens or API keys to ensure secure communication
between different components of the system.
5. Session Management:
o Implement secure session management techniques to generate unique
session identifiers, enforce session timeouts, and invalidate sessions
after a period of inactivity to prevent session hijacking and replay
attacks.
6. Audit Logging:
o Implement logging mechanisms to record and monitor user activities,
system events, and security-related incidents.
o Log relevant information such as login attempts, access control
changes, data modifications, and security policy violations for audit
and forensic analysis purposes.
7. Regular Security Audits and Penetration Testing:
o Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to
identify and remediate potential security weaknesses and
vulnerabilities in the system.
o Perform penetration testing to simulate real-world attack scenarios
and evaluate the effectiveness of security controls and
countermeasures.

By implementing these security measures and validation checks, your hospital

management system can mitigate security risks, protect sensitive data, and
maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, ensuring the confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of healthcare information.

Scope of Future Application:

1. Enhanced User Roles and Permissions:
o Implement additional user roles with specific permissions, such as
Nurse, Receptionist, or Pharmacist, to streamline workflow and access
control within the system.
2. Telemedicine Integration:
o Integrate telemedicine features to allow remote consultations between
doctors and patients, enabling virtual appointments and medical
assistance.
228
 3. Electronic Health Records (EHR) Integration:
o Integrate electronic health record (EHR) systems to enable seamless
access to comprehensive patient records, including medical history,
lab results, prescriptions, and imaging reports.
4. Mobile Application Development:
o Develop a mobile application version of the hospital management
system to provide convenient access for users on smartphones and
tablets, facilitating appointment scheduling, prescription refills, and
remote monitoring.
5. Patient Portal Enhancements:
o Expand the patient portal functionality to include features such as
secure messaging with healthcare providers, appointment reminders,
medication reminders, and access to educational resources.
6. Advanced Reporting and Analytics:
o Enhance reporting capabilities to provide in-depth analytics and
insights into key performance indicators (KPIs) such as patient
demographics, appointment trends, revenue generation, and resource
utilization.
7. Integration with Wearable Devices:
o Integrate with wearable health monitoring devices to capture real-time
patient data, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and activity levels, and
incorporate this information into patient records for proactive
healthcare management.
8. AI-powered Decision Support Systems:
o Implement artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to analyze medical
data, assist in diagnosis, predict patient outcomes, and recommend
personalized treatment plans based on clinical guidelines and best
practices.
9. Multi-Language Support:
o Add support for multiple languages to accommodate diverse patient
populations and improve accessibility for users with different
language preferences.
10. Security and Compliance Enhancements:
o Strengthen security measures to ensure compliance with healthcare
data privacy regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act) and GDPR (General Data Protection
Regulation), including encryption, access controls, and audit trails.

By exploring these areas of enhancement, your hospital management system can

evolve to meet the evolving needs of healthcare providers, patients, and

229
administrators, ultimately improving the quality of care and efficiency of
