CLINIC: A Web Healthcare Management System for Enhancing Clinical Services

摘要

Clinic systems have become widely used nowadays by everyone involved in the medical field. These systems can be either desktop applications, Web applications, or even mobile applications. However, most of the currently available systems are either limited to one clinic, hospital or organization, restricted in terms of usability, hard to maintain and modify, or lacking important communication features. In this work, we propose an open-source medical Web application called CLINIC targeting patients and clinicians worldwide. CLINIC allows clinicians to register upon identity verification. It enhances patient-clinician communication and provides new useful services that include, but are not limited to secure registration by patients and doctors, secure storage of patients' records, instant chatting for consultation, helpful medical articles and first aid tips, and userfriendly interface. CLINIC has good potential to become widely used because of its new features, services, and ambitions.
