Patient Management is an information system that is used to record relevant information relating to the patients. The prescribe drugs, bought drugs, sold drugs and available drugs are processed by the program. The aim of this project is to design an Intelligent Patient Data Management System. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that the existing system lacks immediate retrievals of health related documents and the errors that arise as a result of manual calculation of health bills. The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, and SQL. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. The work will be beneficial to both the management and staffs within the hospital establishment as it makes patients management easier. It will enable the management to know the total number of patients and the payment made by patient as the software will keep tracks of all the patients’ transactions with the hospital. It will ensure that patients are attended on time and a how a patient can get registered first, before the proper bill process. The expected result is an Intelligent Patient Data Management System that will execute a proper recording of patients’ drugs and diagnosis result and keep proper track of appointments made with the patient by the hospital.
