Abstract:
The healthcare practitioners, especially in India, traditionally rely on manual paper logbooks for maintaining patients' records. Our study underscores the crucial need of transitioning from manual to digital patient health records management. Also in emergency conditions, accessing all the patient's health records becomes challenging since the paper records might be stored in various locations, making it uncertain that all the necessary files are readily available. Additionally, the risk of losing paper records further highlights the vulnerability of traditional record-keeping methods. When consulting different doctors, it is essential to have an easy track on patients’ health records. To address these challenges, we have developed DrFilEz, a web application to streamline and enhance the management of medical records. Our system will enable doctors to store and consolidate health records on a single platform and allow credentialed doctors to access patients' health information seamlessly. On our platform, different doctors and patients can connect to seek advice and share medical knowledge. After completion of our web application, all the functions were tested, and its performance was evaluated. Overall, the evaluation's findings were according to expectations.
