5.2. Module Description

5.2.1 Administration Module:-

This is the main module in the proposed project. The administrator can read and write

information about any member such as patient, doctors and staff of the hospital. They can

also update, create and delete the record of members as requirement and implementation

plan.

5.2.2. Patient Module:-

This module contains the patient records. The sub modules are

5.2.2.1. Inpatient:-

It contains details of patients who are admitted.

5.2.2.2. Outpatient:-

The outpatient module contains details of the patient who came for checkups.

5.2.3. Lab Module:-

Lab module is used to generate laboratory reports.

5.2.4. Billing Module:-

The bill payment report of the patient.

5.2.5 Security

Every member staff of the hospital requires a username and password to log on to the

system. The administrator of this system register each member staff allotting username

and password to each and he/she can also revoke access if it is deemed fit for any reason.

The data of database are protected through multiple layers of security which includes but

not limited to passwords which are encrypted (should the hospital decide to take the

software online with networking available but since this is a stand-alone software, the

password is not encrypted) but each member is required to protect their password and

change on the first logging when created by the administrator.

Improving cybersecurity in healthcare facilities With so many cases of hacked healthcare

facilities, threatening both their reputation and their patients’ safety, facilities become

more and more aware of the strategic importance of developing a thorough cybersecurity

strategy. Indeed, the American Hospital Association (AHA) pushes its members to invest in

cybersecurity and has proposed many plans to help them do so. Here are a few procedures

that the organization tries to enforce to enhance cybersecurity in healthcare facilities:

● Create a dedicated team, whose first goal would be to study the current settings of the

facility’s cybersecurity, establish procedures to improve it and reduce its vulnerabilities as

much as possible.

● Dedicate a part of the resources to raise awareness, train employees and monitor their

activities (macro-management).
● Implement a full cybersecurity plan in case of attack: investigate extensively on the

incident (type of cyberattack, diagnosis of the affected equipment, study of the entry points

and vulnerabilities, alert and work closely with authorities…), use the assistance of experts

if needed and take appropriate disciplinary measures against non-compliant employees.

● As explained by the AHA, hospitals can consider “engaging in regional or national

informationsharing organizations to learn more about the cybersecurity risks faced by

hospitals” – employees as well as senior managers should be aware of all the risks they face

when using their IT and learn how to reduce these risks with a compliant use. In parallel,

other organisms are promoting “smart” cybersecurity programs designed to help

healthcare facilities. On the same model as the AHA, these associations offer healthcare

actors solutions and plans to enhance their security and raise awareness among both

managers and employees:

● HITRUST initiative offers a monthly cyber threat briefing to learn the latest news and

best practices regarding defense and response in case of cyber-attacks and helps

identifying early warning Indicators of Compromise (IOC) that warn in case of breach.

● NH-ISAC provides a proactive stance on cybersecurity (instead of reactive) by training

and raising awareness among healthcare actors, providing security standards and

protection policies and assessing the global cyber risks. Other organizations such as the

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) try to coordinate both manufacturers and users of

medical devices, in order to improve their use and protection. Indeed these medical devices

contain operating systems which are also vulnerable to cyber-attacks, even more since all

devices tend to be interconnected with a centralized data treatment. The main goal here is
to identify potential risks associated with their medical devices, and offer the necessary

software updates to overcome these vulnerabilities. This cooperation would work both

ways:

● Manufacturers would provide appropriate software updates in order to keep the devices

secure enough and adapt them to the constantly changing cyber environment. This would

also go through an exhaustive study of the device’s environment (type of authentication,

frequency of use, number of authorized persons…) so as to have a better understanding of

what threats they may face on a daily basis.

● Device users have to make sure all software is up-to-date and protected with the right

firewalls and antiviruses. Plus, they can also inform the manufacturer with simple reports

by monitoring the activity of the device: bugs, unauthorized accesses and intrusion

attempts (with full reports on the method and potential success). Here, the FDA acts as an

intermediary whose sole goal is to help both entities enhancing the security of patients.

Both manufacturers and users can interact independently or rely on the FDA to convey

information and act as a hub. The main idea is that communication between healthcare

actors is key and cooperation is the first step to protect both patients’ health and privacy

Research Methodology

This study is an exploratory research based in a large measure on the collection of primary

data and also the secondary sources. The study is on “Health Care Providers Participation

in OPD Management with Special Reference to Tertiary Care Public & Private Hospitals in
Jaipur: An Analytical Study” which particularly covers the OPD of Public Private Hospitals.

For the purpose of this study the research design adopted is as follows:

a. In the absence of availability of any research material on this topic information is

collected from the following literature. The literature survey has helped to sort out the

statement related to Health Care Providers Participation in OPD Management and develop

the questionnaire.

b. Articles and research papers related to Health Care Providers Participation in OPD

Management and patient satisfaction published in national and international journals.

c. Reference books on hospital management and Health Care Providers Participation in

OPD Management.

d. Online reports and e-books News paper and Magazines.

e. Primary data is collected through survey method with the help of the instrument called

close ended questionnaire.

f.Data is collected from health care providers and Patients who either work or visit in

public & private hospitals OPD of Jaipur.

g. Data obtained is analyzed using SPSS, Microsoft office word, excel and PowerPoint to

study and measure the respondents

Statement of the Problem:

A study on “Health Care Providers Participation in OPD Management with Special

Reference to Tertiary Care Public & Private Hospitals in Jaipur: An Analytical Study”

Knowing about Health Care Providers Participation is not a destructive problem to any

organization. If employee participates in Organization work becomes easier. Patients

become more satisfied in clinical and non-clinical area of OPD; number of patient increases

if health care providers participate in management. The moral and motivation of the

employees remain high when they involve in management work. It is hoped that the

research finding of the present study provide an impetus to the speedy Patients Care who

visit to the OPD. Having this objective in mind the management wants to know the

satisfaction level of the Patients and employee of Private and Public Hospitals

6. FUTURE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

This project will enhance the patients and the hospital to serve more quickly and

efficiently. This software is developed in order to computerize the activities which take

more time, if done manually.

Hospital billing system will enable the patient and hospital staff to make things faster and

can get information quickly. If we want any information about patient, we can access it

quickly.
