DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED HOSPITAL BILLING SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this project work is to design and implement hospital billing system software that will reduce cost, complaints, time and increase efficiency of billing within the hospital. Investigation in general hospital System, Ikot Ekpu reveals that the manual system of keeping records and billing patients in the hospital has some problems such as using calculator, paper and pen to calculate patients bills thus increasing cost in the establishment. Observation method, interview method, examination of document and record are used together information. Top down design was used for the programming.This help in the identifications of the scope and requirement of the new system. In the new system design flowchart are used to depict the program logic and the new system is transformed into a computer understandable language using Visual Basic.net programming. Finally the system is tested and integrated to remove bugs and the parallel charge over method is recommended in order to achieve the design objective.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Hospital is health care institution or a place where people who are sick injured and wounded are given medical treatment, surgical care and cure, while billing is a process of showing an invoice on how much one owes or has to pay for service rendered. In summary hospital billing is amount of money to be paid or charges given to a patient for treatment care, cure of illness and other services render by the doctor. Hospitals are responsible for the supply of drugs to patients at specific drug rate, but their billing has been manually processed.The aim of this project work is to design and implement hospital billing system. Before now there have been numerous problems faced by the hospital in operating the manual system of billing which is not very efficient, a lot of paper work has been done, receipt, irrespective of the number of patients take long period of time to prepare, due to the voluminous numbers of drugs used. Records of patients serve as information for preparing management decision are very difficult to locate manually, because of these problems errors arising from such system become very noticeable.
