DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM FOR THE METHODOLOGICAL TEST ANALYSIS
(A CASE STUDY OF
SICKLE CELL DISEASE)
ABSTRACT
This work is
specially put together not to replace medical doctors or medical laboratory
scientists but rather to assist them in accelerating in their diagnostic work
which will go a long way to eliminate the trial and error method of
treatment (which the doctors usually do while waiting for the lab result
which would be detrimental to the patient.
In view of this, a careful study and understanding of this research will assist
users, medial doctors & lab scientists. It will educate them on now
best a computer can aid medical diagnosis for optimum service to the public.
The project will go further to educate out lab scientists / doctors on the need
to accumulated salient aspects of the medical know-how of even the most
experienced specialist in the computer. So as to eliminate the vacuum
that would have been created when specialist dies or is in capacitated.
ORGANISATION OF WORK
The research work on
Hematological analysis is carefully organized for the orderly usage by its
users. This organization is done using chapter specifications, with each
of the chapter being sub divided into units for further explanation and
understanding.
Chapter one tends to
introduce the theme with the aim of identifying the problems encountered during
the process of medical laboratory analysis also are its purpose of study,
scope; assumption as well as the definition of terms that are used in the
work. While chapter tow takes a look at the literature review of the
research. Chapter three on the other hand tries to describe and analyze
the present system, the fact and findings method, objectives and problems that
are likely to be faced by the existing system.
In chapter four, the
design and implementation of the new system is carried out, with chapter five
giving a documentary accost of the system.
Finally chapter six recommends and
concludes the work.

BACKGROUND OF STUDY
1.1
INTRODUCTION
Health is generally
said to be wealth. To acquire this wealth either for personal or national
needs, one require to be healthy hence the need for adequate Medicare
especially in the area of diagnosis. Since there is a good relationship
between the job output and the health of the workers, a good Medicare is vital.
Unfortunately, in most developing notions including Nigeria, adequate Medicare
is lacking due to low standard of technologies know how and manual handling of
most medical problem. As observed by Iyiama H.C and Chukwu. D. C. very
often, people in developing countries who are critically ill are rushed abroad
for special treatment because it is felt that medical facilities at home is
inadequate. This is simply because at home is inadequate. This is simply
because computer aided Medicare has become a reality in many developed
countries. It is also a known fact that the production of qualified
medical doctors, medical lab. Scientists and other medical personnel is on the
increase but this is not enough to meet the health needs of the increasing population.
The return of patients to a doctors, samples to lab scientist is still
high. This situation creates problem, because proper and adequate medical
attention to patients is far fetched.
1.2
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
It has been observed
that to receive medical treatment in most of our hospitals (or private
laboratories) the patients queue up for several hours from one unit of the
hospital to another. Starting from obtaining a new hospital folder or
retrieving an old one before consulting a doctor to the laboratory unit far
laboratory test than to the pharmacy to get the prescribed drugs and so on,
with the manual processes involved in handling the patient most of them waste
whole day in the hospital. This situation discouraging to most patients and sometimes
force them to turn to non professionals or even resort to self medication for
quick recovery.
Due to the number of patients, who need the attention of the doctor, the
doctors medical lab-scientist hurries over his work without adequate attention
and expertise. Still at the end of the day he (is exhausted.
In addition to this, the diagnosis and prescription depends on the doctor’s
memory their brains are often loaded with different diseases, signs, systems
and various drugs far third treatment. Some of which are very
similar. To remember and process threes huge information in his clinical
work is very asking for this reason accurate and urgent diagnosis and
subsequent drug prescription may not always be obtained.
The keeping and retrieval of accurate records an patients are poorly carried
out in most of our hospitals. Files may be misplaced the record in them might
be wrongly filled.
Finally the keeping of folder for each patient manually takes a lot of time and
money. Some of the information are redundant. All these have not
effect on loss of lines and inefficiency on the part of management.
1.3
PURPOSE OF STUDY
Purposely, this work
is designed at minimizing the time patients have to wait to get adequate
medical attention. This delay usually pushes them into patronizing
non-professionals.
It will also help to reduce the work load which the doctor usually has to show
especially where they are few in number. It will allow easy assessment of
the previous clinical history of the patient in the shortest possible time.
It will also allow easy analysis of a medical laboratory result. Hence
there is need far a system. That will achieve all these, designing a
software far laboratory result analysis.
1.4
AIM AND OBJECTIVES
This study is centered on the following
objectives:
i.
To examine the current procedure employed in our hematological laboratories
with regards to diagnosis.
ii.
To examine the associated problem(s) in the current system.
iii.
To improved or the already existing system by designing an efficient computer
coded medical diagnosis aimed at an accurate, faster and reliable diagnosis
therapy.
1.5
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Due to the fact that
it is difficult to develop a computer based system for diagnosing all disease
at a time; financing and time constraints, this research is limited to medical
diagnosis of sickle cell disease and erythropoesis foetive.
This study will also improve method(s) of diagnosis especially the patient
history, physical examinations and request for clinical laboratory test it the
patient did not go directly to the medical lab scientists.
1.6
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The aim of this study
is not to replace medical doctors medical laboratory scientist but to assist
them in accelerating in their diagnostic work; which will go a long way to
eliminate the trial and error method of treatment (which the doctors usually do
while waiting for the lab, result which could be detrimental to the patient.
This work will also help both the lab scientist and doctors overcome mental
stress and constancy of being overworked.
Furthermore, this research will educate our lab scientist / doctors on the need
to accumulate salient aspects of the medical know-how of even the most
experienced specialist, in the computer. So as to eliminate the vacuum
that would be created when specialist dies or is incapacitated by old age.
