What it does: This feature allows receptionists in clinic to record and manage patients' medical histories of seeing doctors. It provides receptionists with 6 commands, which are adding, listing, sorting, editing, searching and viewing of medical histories. Besides, the information of visiting patient and visited doctor is stored in a medical history, and is updated in cascade with the patient and doctor. When patient and doctor is edited or deleted, all related medical histories will be updated automatically.

Justification of Major Feature: In a clinic, one of the most important and most frequent event is patient visit. Recording medical histories is important for clinic management. Firstly, it provides doctor with patient’s information and helps doctor give proper evaluation and treatments of patient. Secondly, it retains documentary evidence on which the legal system depends. To keep a record of every patient visit, receptionists must be able to manage medical histories very efficiently. Our app provides users an easy way to manage a medical history. Users only need to provide patient id and doctor id, then the system will automatically find and store all information of that patient and doctor. To help doctor diagnosis, receptionists must be able to quickly find medical histories the doctor wants. Our app provides an easy way to do this by listing, searching or sorting command. To keep the whole system consistent, receptionists need to update medical histories when patient/doctor is modified. Our app can automatically update medical histories in cascade of patient and doctor, which saves users a lot of efforts.

Highlights of Major Feature: Firstly, it’s challenging to store patient and doctor information in medical history and keep them updated. Commands of patients and doctors may impact related medical histories. All these commands need to be followed by the updating of medical histories. Secondly, it’s difficult to do validation of input. Checking of the existence of input patient and doctor id must be done before adding the medical history.
