ABSTRACT

Drug is a substance that affects the function of living cells, used in medicine to diagnose, cure, prevent the occurrence of diseases and disorders, and prolong the life of patients with incurable conditions. The availability of new and more effective drugs, such as antibiotics, which fight bacterial infections, and vaccines, which prevent diseases caused by bacteria and viruses, helped increase the average American’s life span from about 60 years in 1900 to about 78 years in 2005. Drugs have vastly improved the quality of life. During the 20th century, drugs enabled the eradication of smallpox, once a widespread and often fatal disease. By the early 21st century, vaccines had led to the near eradication of poliomyelitis, once feared as a cause of paralysis. The research was conducted mainly to examine the positive and negatives effects of not making good use of drug services for patient management system in the business administration of an hospital. For effective research on this topic the drug patient drug system. Both primary and secondary data were used to elicit information from sample studied, the primary source of data were response form the personal interview which secondary source form textbook on business management and administration and periodicals. Drug services for patient management system are used to record pharmaceutical product. The available products are shown on the system for their client to view and make demand for their choice. This project is written to help Pharmaceuticals Companies especially Annunciation hospital Enugu in the areas they encounter problems in keeping their record and the solution given to tackle those problem.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

CHAPTER ONE

1.0              INTRODUCTION

Drug services for patient management is an information system that is used to record relevant information relating to the patients. The prescribe drugs, bought drugs, sold drugs and available drugs are processed by the program. Anti-infective drugs are classified as antibacterials, antivirals, or antifungals depending on the type of microorganism they combat. Anti-infective drugs interfere selectively with the functioning of a microorganism while leaving the human host unharmed.

Antibacterial drugs, or antibiotics—sulfa drugs, penicillins, cephalosporins, and many others—either kill bacteria directly or prevent them from multiplying so that the body’s immune system can destroy invading bacteria. Antibacterial drugs act by interfering with some specific characteristics of bacteria. For example, they may destroy bacterial cell walls or interfere with the synthesis of bacterial proteins or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—the chemical that carries the genetic material of an organism. Antibiotics often cure an infection completely. However, bacteria can spontaneously mutate, producing strains that are resistant to existing antibiotics.

 A drug service for patient management system uses artificial intelligence and powerful methodology to quickly create very accurate analysis. The software gives you the ability to predict sales by customer, account group, channel, end-item SKU and package. Both weekly and daily analyses are created with lightning speed, instantly updating on the screen.

Depending on the drug and its desired effect, there are a variety of administration methods. Most drugs are administered orally—that is, through the mouth. Only drugs that will not be destroyed by the digestive processes of the stomach or intestines can be given orally. Drugs can also be administered by injection into a vein (intravenously), which assures quick distribution through the bloodstream and a rapid effect; under the skin (subcutaneously) into the tissues, which results in localized action at a particular site as with local anesthetics; or into a muscle (intramuscularly), which enables rapid absorption through the many blood vessels found in muscles. An intramuscular injection may also be given as a depot preparation, in which the drug is combined with other substances so that it is slowly released into the blood.

Drug services for patient management system of Annunciation Hospital shows various drug that one can purchase. It records the available drugs, the sold drugs and the money collected from the sold drug. It involves database programming to keep track of the event of the system. The program is also implemented using Visual basic program.

  1. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Drug abuse is characterized by taking more than the recommended dose of prescription drugs such as barbiturates without medical supervision, or using government-controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or other illegal substances. Legal substances, such as alcohol and nicotine, are also abused by many people. Abuse of drugs and other substances can lead to physical and psychological dependence.

Drug abuse can cause a wide variety of adverse physical reactions. Long-term drug use may damage the heart, liver, and brain. Drug abusers may suffer from malnutrition if they habitually forget to eat, cannot afford to buy food, or eat foods lacking the proper vitamins and minerals. Because of these, the need arise for the development of Drug services for patient management system for a hospital.

1.2              AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The aims and objectives of this project are listed below:

  • To eliminate Poor Analysis attitude and inadequate planning
  • To avoid Poor Integration of drug patient drug and planning in running of business.
  • To keep a comprehensive list of drug patient data.
  • To make proper and accurate calculation.
  • To easy the work associated with manual method.
  • To eliminate the error involved with the manual storage of patient drug management.
  • To save the time wasted when searching or sorting for a given patient drug management.

1.3     PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The main purpose of this study is to put to an end the difficulties people encountered during manual storage of sales data/information. This is actualized by designing Drug services for patient management system which is user friendly and interactive. By the time this software is designed and implemented, the difficulties encountered with manual method of keeping sales information will be eliminated.

1.4     SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

With the growth in information technology, the study offers numerous values both to the film and to any hospital that deals on marketing of goods and items.

Huge of files kept in the offices will no longer be there again because information will be stored on the computer with the help of the Drug services for patient management system Because of the easy to use nature of the Drug services for patient management system, any hospital can easily buy it to make use of them.
