eHospital (A Hospital Management System)

Overview

The eHospital Management System is a JavaFX-based desktop application designed to streamline and manage hospital operations. It provides functionalities for handling patient registrations, doctor scheduling, staff management, medical record storage, and more. The system uses a modular architecture with efficient database connectivity for managing hospital data securely.

Features

  • Admin Module: Manage hospital staff, payrolls, and overall system administration.
  • Doctor Module: View and update schedules, patient records, and prescriptions.
  • Nurse Module: Access patient details and assist in patient care.
  • Receptionist Module: Handle patient appointments and registrations.
  • Patient Module: Register new patients and manage patient details.
  • Database Integration: Connects to SQL Server for secure and persistent data storage.
  • JavaFX UI: Provides an interactive and user-friendly graphical interface.
  • Modular Design: Each component is independent, promoting scalability and maintainability.

Dependencies

The project relies on the following:

  • JavaFX SDK: For creating GUI components.
  • JDBC Driver: For connecting to the SQL Server database.
  • SQL Server Database: For persistent data storage.
