Electronic medical record for effective patient monitoring database

Patient monitoring systems still suffer from problems such as: lost of information, blur images, paper-based, and large number of patient with less staff in both local and foreign hospitals. In Malaysia, patient monitoring systems are implemented only at certain hospitals and wards. This research paper is focusing on developing Electronic Patients Medical Records (EPRM) system that will help make patient monitoring more effective. A prototype of the proposed system is implemented using open source tools and technologies. Sample of implementation results are shown in this paper. It shows that EPRM offers suitable searching capabilities and assists doctors and nurses in managing patientspsila medical records as well as help doctors and nurses in making quick decision.
