ABSTRACT
The
study was aimed at designing a computer software for registration of patient’s
in FSDT&T clinic/laboratory. The work was reviewed from text books,
journals, website which highlights the process of designing of designing the
software using waterfall model method requirement, design, implementation,
installation and maintenance. Then sing visual basic 6.0 and MSDN to create the
interface, writing the code and set the properties and Microsoft Access for the
database.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1
INTRODUCTION
A computer is a piece of electronic
equipment which accepts input of data using pre-defined instructions known as
computer programs to execute the task in order to produce output (Anyaogu,2003).
According
to Anyaogu, (2003), a computer program is a sequence of logically valid
instructions which tells the computer what it is required to do. These programs
or instructions are written in computer language. Software can be defined as
that ordered sequence of instructions for changing the state of the computer
hardware in a particular sequence which is usually written in high-level
programming languages that are easier and more efficient for humans to use the
machine language (www.wikiepedia.com).
Dental
software are written in an assembly language essentially a mnemonic
representation of machine language using natural language alphabet and it is
classified under application software which allows end users to accomplish one
or more specific task, (www.freedictionary.com).
In
accordance with 21st century technology treatment plan and upgrading
of equipment and record keeping in a particular format with uploading of
patient’s medical/dental history as they visit the dental laboratory/ clinic is
necessary. There is need to develop a soft record of a particular patient/
client past history accessible whenever he/she visit the laboratory/clinic
brings about the development of a computer aided software to store this record
instead of the use of papers and cards.
User
written software are end-user development tailor-made systems to meet user’s
specific needs, example dental patient laboratory/clinic registration software
which helps in designing computer based information system ranging from relatively
simple data entry to retrieval of jobs requiring long term analysis and
planning.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In combating the lost of vital patient
dental documents/history in the laboratory/ clinic there is need to designing a
computer based software for the registration of dental patients. The loss of these
in formations is as a result of the following
·
Poor information storage method: The use of office files and file cabinet is
not a good form of information storage those days.
·
Insecurity of data because it is prone to
vandalization and unauthorized accessibility.
·
Duplication of data in various departments
because of the nature of work needed.
It
takes a long time in accessing records in the manual system due to the nature
of work in the clinic. It is always good for materials to finish unnoticed.
1.3
AIMS OF THE STUDY.
The aim of this study is to design computer
software for the registration of dental patient in federal school of dental
technology and therapy clinic/laboratory.
Other
aims of the work include the following
a) To
work towards the elimination of ineffective modes of operation. It centers on
the user having a good atmosphere for work thereby minimizing stress.
b) The
objective from the initiator of the proposal is generally towards combating all
the problems discovered on the existing system, which are listed under the
problem of study.
c) Safeguarding
of information through effective monitoring and accessing of the storage data
in given filling processing system (data base).
1.4
LIMITATIONS AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY.
The
hindrances that were faced during this project work are lack of finance to carryout
the project effectively and efficiently.
Another
hindrance was the location and availability of a programmer to design the
program. The high cost of a computer system and the functions used in the design
the software also posed some hindrances to this project but later it was
overcome when a functional computer set was delivered to the programmer.
The
academic work load and the time frame for the project work was also another hindrance.
