Abstract:
In Bangladesh, a good amount of hospital settings still prescribe patient with pen and paper without the option for storing the information in a digitized format. Even though some private medical settings have taken the initiative to adopt e-health systems such as EMR (Electronic Medical Record), there still remains a gap in those solutions. Because in most cases the data is separated into different machines and it cannot be transferred outside of a particular hospital domain. Hence there is a need for adopting EHR (Electronic Health Record) system that can not only store medical information in a digital format but also be an interoperable system supporting various hospital settings. The main aim of the thesis is to articulate an EHR model in the context of Bangladesh. For implementing the proposed model guidance from various literature was gathered. And for further understanding, the working of some the existing systems has been taken into consideration. The model was created and showcased with appropriate diagrams. Appointment setting, Medical history, 24/7 prescription accessibility, and prescription sharing are few of the functionalities which will be supported by the model. The main drawback of this research is that my hypothetical model hasn't been used as an actual application. Therefore, it is not easy to forecast any uncomfortable circumstances that could occur during real-life implementation. The proposed HER system will be able to support configuration oversight of the existing system. This is clearly seen when doing a comparison examination between various systems. In addition, the software's future potential is quite promising given the emergence of more recent technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and 5G connection.
