Thread: Hello Gurus - Pls advise me!!

Please friends...
I have this task to develop a Hospital Management System that be encompass all features of a modern hospital. The software will operate as a banking software; it'll be installed at the headquarters and all branches will connect to it, so that if a patient is registered and treatment at a branch in state 'A' and the patient will be in state 'B' on the next treatment day(same hospital), the patient will simply provide his/her 'Patient ID' and the details will come up.

Kindly, as me to explain more if you didn't get me clearly, I really don't know where to start on the project.
Please advise me.

Thanks

I think it'll involve much networking.
I really don't knw whr to start.
Pls where should I start?
Advise me pls

I think you must design the business rule first.
Then you need to define how data is modeled (ER),
simply use Relational Database Concept, and I suggest to use MySQL for DBMS, its free and simply.

If the database has been implemented, now you can writing the code for the information system application... (CRUD operation)
for the Network, I think you must read and study about the socket in java.

for the network structure, I think you must have one computer server to store database and client computers
for data processing (CRUD operation).

For patient management (moving state) you need to implemented a thread (listener) to
count the time (1 day), or you can make it stored in database, or simply used admin in client computer
as trigger to change the state of patient

Thanks gurus like Norm and Didingnuriska.
I appreciate your concerns...
