Abstract
Hospitals in Ghana still operate with the file-based system approach due to the absence of a health
management system. While this approach works, it is an ineffective way to store and manage
health records. Hospitals consume large amounts of paper in preparing medical records, lab
reports, and prescriptions. With information scattered all over the place, it becomes difficult to
manage and keep track of.
In this paper, a solution proposed is a health management system whereby various hospital
personnel log in and digitally perform their duties. The aim is to enhance medical treatment quality,
facilitate with distance communication, data sharing, and improve internal communication. A key
functionality comes in the form of report generation, which seeks to automate the process of
creating reports which follow the format of reports submitted to higher authorities such as the
district health ministry.
