MediCare: An Online Hospital Appointment Management System

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology has significantly transformed the healthcare sector by introducing digital solutions that enhance efficiency and patient care. Traditional hospital appointment systems are often manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors, resulting in long waiting times and poor patient satisfaction. This paper proposes MediCare, an Online Hospital Appointment Management System designed to automate the appointment scheduling process. The system allows patients to book appointments, view doctor availability, and receive notifications through a web-based platform. Doctors and administrators can efficiently manage schedules, patient data, and hospital operations. The proposed system improves service quality, reduces administrative workload, and enhances overall healthcare efficiency. Future enhancements such as telemedicine and AI-based scheduling are also discussed.
