PHP Hospital Management System

The Hospital Management System is a PHP and MySQL web application that digitizes core hospital operations. It provides role-based access for admin, doctors, and patients, each with a dedicated dashboard.

Administrators manage doctors, departments, staff and billing. Patients can register, book appointments with available doctors, and view prescriptions and invoices. Doctors view their appointment schedule, add diagnoses and prescriptions, and update patient medical history. The billing module generates invoices for consultations and services.

The application uses session-based authentication, prepared statements for security, and a Bootstrap-based responsive UI. Reports summarize appointments, revenue and patient counts. This project is well suited for final-year submissions because it covers multi-role authentication, relational database design, and complete CRUD workflows in PHP.

Detailed Project Description

PHP Hospital Management System digitises the day-to-day records and workflows of an organisation so data is stored once, retrieved instantly and reported accurately.

How It Works
1. Role-based login separates admin, staff and end users.
2. Each module (records, bookings, transactions, reports) provides full CRUD operations with validation.
3. Data lives in a relational database with proper relationships between entities.
4. Reports and search views summarise the stored information.

Technology Roles
- PHP
- MySQL
- Bootstrap
- jQuery

Implementation Steps
1. Define requirements and draw the ER / class diagram and screen flow.
2. Set up the environment (XAMPP, PHP, MySQL) and create the project skeleton.
3. Design the database schema / data model and seed it with sample data.
4. Implement the core modules with validation and role-based access where needed.
5. Build the user interface and connect it to the backend / data layer.
6. Test each module (unit + manual), fix edge cases and secure inputs (SQL injection, XSS, auth).
7. Prepare documentation, screenshots and a demo build.
