Patient Management System

A fully functional Patient Management System written in Java with its corresponding GUI.

How To Use

• The Patient Management System requires the practitioner to log in using a username/password pair. The default values are:
  • username: admin
  • password: 1234
• A new patient can be registered with basic personal details:
• Upon selecting the patient from a list more fields become visible allowing the user to edit comments, appointments, and add or remove pictures.
• The field containing the medical condition data is clickable and points to the website indicated by the practitioner at patient creation.
• All fields of a patient record can be edited. How to edit a field depends on the field selected:
  • If the user wishes to edit personal details then it is necessary press the edit button.
  • Comments and appointments can be edited on the fly on their respective tab.
  • Photos can be added or deleted on their respective tabs.
• A patient record can be deleted after the practitioner confirms its deletion.
• The list of patients can be search based on a series of fields. (Only sensible fields are included in the search table).
• A list of selected patients can be exported as a JSON object.
• A list of patient records can be imported as a JSON object and appended to the existing ones in the management system.

Setup

• Option 1: Use the patient-management-system.jar binary included in release v1.0. This requires no setup at all.
• Option 2: Build the application from the source files:
  • /src contains the .java application source files.
  • /res contains the images used by .java source files.
  • /lib contains the JSON third party library used to save and read JSON text files.

Notes

• The official JSON third party java library is used to save and read JSON text files. This library can be found [here] (http://www.json.org/java/) and is open source. You will need to add the library to your build path to be able to launch the project.
• An extensive Javadoc can be found in the /doc subfolder.
• A logger is initialised in the directory where the jar is launched. This can be useful for debugging.

Further Work

• Allow the practitioner to create a new username and password upon launching the application for the first time.
• Resize images dynamically.
• Find a better method to store images.
