Design a Framework of a web-based Thalassemia Management System: Akre - Gulan hospital as a case study

Abstract

Large volumes of data are generated in contemporary medicine. However, there is always a gap between what they gather and what they perceive and interpret. Minimal data sets are created in this manner. The collecting of a significant amount of different data, which makes the conventional paper-based method difficult, is at the heart of the complex continuous care process of thalassemia patients. Adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) system is the best solution in this situation because of the documented benefits in previous studies. Thalassemia is a chronic genetic disorder of the blood and the most common genetic disorder in the world. Technology can enhance the management of thalassemia.  The aim of this study is to produce a design and framework of a web-based Thalassemia Management System.  This system will perform all operations related to Thalassemia patient starting from registration, to provide patient-related details, such as reports, medical records history, diagnosis, medicines and support the lifelong healthcare of patients. The technology acted as an appointment reminder, which resulted in fewer appointments being missed. In addition, the system can assist clinicians by proposing appropriate therapy depending on the results of patients' tests. Patients with thalassemia can access their medical records, which makes communication and information available to other doctors and healthcare professionals upon request. The system booked outpatient visits and issued medical appointment reminders. The SUS results confirmed that the rate of overall satisfaction was high nearly 85%, which is above average and good acceptable
