DISPENSARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The purpose of the projects entitled as Dispensary Management

System is to computerize the front office management of
dispensary to develop software which is user friendly,simple,fast and
cost effective .
It deals with the collection of patients information, doctors
information, database of medicines etc. Traditionally it was done
manually but later after subsequent development in the field of
medicine, CGHS(Central Government Healthcare Scheme). The main
function of the system is to register and store patients details and
doctors details , to keep a check on the medicines in stock and to
manipulate these details meaningfully.
System Inputs contains details including doctor id and his allocated
password. It is followed by patients details which gives the output of
patients diagnosis detals(if any). Medicines are then prescribed
keeping a check that these medicines are available or not and
database is modified.
The needs of this system are as follows:1.Efficiently maintains tha details about the patients.
2.Simultaneously updates changes made to any data item in the
entire database.
3.It is faster the manual system.

USE CASE DIAGRAM:

Use case diagrams are used to gather the requirements of a system including
internal and external influences. These requirements are mostly design
requirements. So when a system is analyzed to gather its functionalities use cases
are prepared and actors are identified.
The purpose of use case diagram is to capture the dynamic aspect of a system. But
this definition is too generic to describe the purpose.
The following use case is of Dispensary Management System. It has number of
functionalities known as use cases such as provide information,register the
patients,medicines information,medicines in stock,placing order for medicines to the
vendors and medicines beig provided to the dispensary. These functionalities are
controlled or interacted with various actors i.e Patient ,Doctor,Vendor and Staff.

ACTIVITY DIAGRAM:
Activity diagram is basically a flow chart to represent the flow form one activity to
another activity. The activity can be described as an operation of the system.
The basic purposes of activity diagrams are similar to other four diagrams. It
captures the dynamic behaviour of the system. Other four diagrams are used to
show the message flow from one object to another but activity diagram is used to
show message flow from one activity to another.
The activity diagram of Dispensary Management System starts with providing
doctors details which are validated and system is started.It is followed by providing
patients details which is also validated. It is then checked if patient is already
registered or not.If registered show previous records . Problems are explained to
doctor and medicines are prescribed .

STATE TRANSITION DIAGRAM:

A State Transition diagram describes a state machine. Now to clarify it state
machine can be defined as a machine which defines different states of an object and
these states are controlled by external or internal events.
Statechart diagram describes the flow of control from one state to another state.
States are defined as a condition in which an object exists and it changes when
some event is triggered. So the most important purpose of Statechart diagram is to
model life time of an object from creation to termination.
The Dispensary Management System initially have two initial states one with staff
awaiting for entry and second ,the system awaiting for doctor login. After entry of
patient and validation of doctors information,state transits to new state which awaits
for patients details .It is followed by patient diagnosis and patient awaiting for
medicines.
