Abstract
The study designed an information system model for Disease Management (DisMan) that met the specifications and needs of a consumer electronics manufacturer. The diseases monitored by this study were diabetes, hypertension and tuberculosis. Data were collected through interviews with the company’s human resources department and occupational health provider. As for the model, literature and online research were conducted to collect healt h standards and information system standards on existing DisMan systems. These standards were then compared to the consumer electronics manufacturer’s DisMan. The model was designed by utilizing class, use-case, as well as sequence diagrams. The result was an information system model with a registry system that can specifically support DisMan in a consumer electronics manufacturer. The registry system included a medical alert management system and a self-monitoring system. The latter system was supported by the former system, which can assist the DisMan’s staff in moni toring the employees’ scrupulousness regarding their health care plan as well as notifying the emp loyees on lifestyle management.

The routine examinations included the monitoring of employee meal intakes, regular training, health program participation and weekly consultation with a physician. This monitoring was supported by the help of alerts that helped in ensuring a patient to: (Aiko, 1995) record measurements of current health conditions; (Alaoui et al, 1998) self-administer medication with the recommended dosage on time and (Beich, 2006) follow the exercise program designed by Disease Management (DisMan) staff
Medical care plan includes various targets that must be attained by the employee, such as composition and quantity of nutrition that must be consumed, physical activity duration that must be accomplished following a prescheduled DisMan program to raise awareness of their illnesses and available treatments or medication and the consultation schedule with a physician
