PROJECT MATERIAL ON- design and implementation of data mining for   medical record system. (a case study of owerri general hospital) (72 pages)

ABSTRACT

Data mining is the extraction of hidden predictive information from large database which helps in predicting future trend and behavior thereby helping management make knowledge driven decisions. The data mining tool designed is to aid in quick access and retrieval of patients information to avoid time wasted in retrieving of such data from hospitals data warehouse. The data mining tool was also designed to discover hidden pattern that helps in decision making by management. Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology were used in the analysis of the existing system which also provided a guide for the design of the proposed system.

PHP programming language and my SQL was used in the creation of a data warehouse for patients information and data mining tool for the retrieval of such information when needed.
