The electronic Patient Diagnosis Management System in Naguru Teenage Information and Health Center

Okidi Jacob

Electronic diagnosis management system is intended to help medics and clinicians in diagnosing clinical cases. Mostof the clinicians are still relying on manual clinical diagnosis process. A manual clinical diagnosis is a very complex,cumbersome and error prone process; even very experienced doctors sometimes fail to diagnose a clinical conditioncorrectly at an early stage. Clinical decision support systems assist the clinician in applying new information to patientcare through the analysis of patient-specific clinical variables. Many of these systems are used to enhance diagnosticefforts and include computer-based programs such as Dxplain that provide extensive differential diagnoses based onclinical information entered by the clinician. Other forms of clinical decision support systems, including antibioticmanagement programs and anticoagulation dosing calculators, seek to prevent medical errors and improve patientsafety. The electronic patient diagnosis management system is basically to help diagnose medical health problems(sickness) of patients by enabling them input the symptoms they are experiencing, the system then analyses them andgives feedback to what the patient could be suffering from. It as well helps to find more information on the symptomsor signs of the disease a patient is suffering from
