Abstract

A Web Based Interactive Health Record System (WIHRS) is a digital web-based record of patients presenting in a hospital. The information so generated on patients can then be accessed by medical personnel to provide treatment for them in any health care delivery setting at any location. Analogue ways of record keeping were the traditional way of documenting patients’ information by health information officers. The problems of unavailability of a centralized database system and inability to access patients records and provide prompt treatment to patients at any healthcare centre could be solved by WIHRS. The objective of the paper is to design a WIHRS. The methods included cloud computing model, service model, deployment model and cloud hosting. The web technologies languages such as Hypertext Pre-processor (PHP), Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and Ajax were deployed to implement the proposed system. The use of WIHRS improves the standard of healthcare to patients with optimal efficiency.

Highlights

Healthcare system is a system that takes care of the health of the people in a localized / geographical area
Government and private settings play significant roles in giving timely attention to the health of the people. This healthcare milieu has brought to the front burner the relevance of Web-Based Interactive Health Record System (WIHRS)
The cloud-based architecture of the web-based health record system consists of a central database (Cloud DB), Unifier Interface Middleware (UIM), Authentication Server and the System Users

Summary

Introduction

Healthcare system is a system that takes care of the health of the people in a localized / geographical area. Government and private settings play significant roles in giving timely attention to the health of the people. This healthcare milieu has brought to the front burner the relevance of Web-Based Interactive Health Record System (WIHRS). WIHRS is the recorded medical information of patients that is readily accessible to healthcare providers. It is a rich store of electronic information as regards an individual lifetime health index that can serve series of legitimate users of the record on line [1]. The physicians or paramedics in charge are not permitted to access and keep the patients’ history for future treatment reference [2]
