Abstract
Introduction: Medical equipment is used for the specific purposes of diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation of disease or injury, and can be used either alone or in combination with any accessory, consumable or other medical equipment. Medical equipment excludes implantable, Scale up the system to support the management of equipment performance after the installation disposable or single-use medical devices.
Objective: The objective of this project is to design Web- Based Medical Equipment Information Management System, for Saint Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College Methodology: The project will use object oriented system analysis and design approach and includes requirement gathering tools such as (interview, observation and document review
techniques) to collect sufficient information needed for the system to be developed. Analysis and design of the proposed system will be performed using the UML like the use case modeling and use case diagram.
Discussion of Result: The use case diagram identifies all the process and system boundary of the proposed system. Eleven processes were identified with their corresponding actors.
objects of the system were identified and modeled using the class diagram. The flow and sequence of the processes were presented using the sequence diagrams. User prototype was modeled for the system usability testing.
Conclusion: In the process of analysis and design this system, the investigator recognizes that the boundary of the system somehow overlaps with the system of pharmacy store, which captures the information of medical equipment at initial.
The existing system documentation is not well organized and complete, that makes the investigator depends on literature to design the system.
Recommendation: - The hospital is recommended to initiate the revision of the pharmacy store computer system by; Reinforcing the supporting stakeholder to include medical equipment information into the system and Scale up the system to support the management of equipment performance after the installation
