ABSTRACT
This research work shows us the potential benefits we may obtain from the computerization of the out-patient information system of the Hansa Clinic Enugu. The out-patient department otherwise called OPD is a place where the out-patient that is patients that receive treatment at the clinic without staying overnight, wait for the doctors to attend to them.
This manual operation of the outpatient information system is normally stressful. But when it is being computerized it will reduce the stress among those working in the out-patient department.
To reduce the stress we use computers which has a great capacity for processing information to work.
ORGANIZATION OF WORK
Chapter one presents the information of the work.
The chapter two is the literature review The chapter three and chapter four are the Depreciation and analysis of an existing system and design of the new system and design the new system respectively. While the chapter five and six are the implementation of the new system and documentation respectively. Recommendations and conclusion are presented in the last chapters, which is the chapter seven
CHAPTER ONE

1. INTRODUCTION

A clinic is an institution with an organized medical and nursing staff, provide a range of medical service, like surgery, for people requiring intensive treatment or observation. It may also include facilities for childbirth as well as various out-patient departments. A clinic is not make up of various departments where various cases and handled. For example

1. The surgery department where patients are operated on in the theaters.
2. Obstetrics and gynecology unit where pregnant women are taken care of.
3. Pediatric department where you treat children.

An outpatient is a patient who does not reside in the clinic where he/she is being treated. The registers of the outpatients are used for documentation of the outpatients. The documentation of the outpatients. The data for outpatient registers are registration number, name of patient, age, sex, registration address etc.
The outpatient unit is made up of casually section, records, outpatient, theaters, various clinics etc.
The treatment of the outpatients ends in the outpatient department which that of the inpatients ends in their various wards.

1.1     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
It could be very burdensome for someone who is seriously ill. It wounded or weak to queue on clinic line waiting for the doctor to attend to him or to pay for service and also get drugs.
But when the designing and implementation of a computerize outpatient information system is achieved, a lot of problems will be documented for the outpatient. These problems includes:

1. Time wastage
2. Absence of doctors involved
3. File sorting

1. 1. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Hospital organization today is a essential part of the medical care scheme, owing to the increasing complexity of medical problem. It is very necessary that medical practitioners and specialists have an up to data and automated services.
This study will examine the problem arising from manual operations of the outpatient information system and how these can be conquered by introducing the computer. This research work also aims at designing a statement that can replace the manual operations of the outpatient information system
