Executive Summary

The Technological University of the Philippines (TUP-Taguig) will offer general


and preventative health care for all students and staff in this area and the
surrounding communities. The clinic will utilize a trained staff, sound medical
training, new equipment, a referral system and nearby hospital facilities in order
to maximize the care for each patient. As part of its ongoing efforts to improve
access to health care in university clinic, Technological University of the
Philippines is subsidizing the start-up and first year of operations of a new
develop university clinic. The master plan will be owned and managed by the
government of Taguig City. It will be responsible for ensuring the general health
of those patients and creating a viable and profitable medical practice.
Throughout the first year, Technological University of the Philippines will work
closely with advisers from General Medical to get the clinic on a sound financial
and operational footing, using this medical clinic business plan as a guiding
management tool.

The Technological University of the Philippines-Tagiug (TUP-Taguig) was


established and began its operation in year 1977-1978 with only two competent,
dedicated teachers at its helm. The school building is placed in 14 East service
Road, Western Bicutan, Taguig City, specifically in Brgy. 15 Barangay Wester
Bicutan and is easily accessible to neighboring towns. Clinics are known as a
required facility in every institution. In every school, a clinic operates through the
complete basic education curriculum. The school clinic offers its services to
everyone inside the school premises that needs assistance if they are not feeling
well.

The Process (Flowchart)

Data and Process Modeling

 Using this diagram the structure of an information processing program of


the system was described. The input showed the details of what types of
information the system would accept. The process described the
programs to be executed and the transactions to be done by the system.
The output also described the expected result.

Figure2. System Flow Chart


Taguig City University

 Showed the flow chart of the users when the system loads. There are
different users of the system are:
 The administrator
 Head nurse
 Pharmacist
 Receptionist
 Billing officer

The diagram showed the complete flow chart on how the system works. The
system user could input their details in the system and the system would verify if
the user exists or not. Once the user is verified, they would be directed to the
dashboard displaying their specific functions based on their job roles. In general
the user could manage their own dashboard, update information, check history or
hospital records, and then print necessary records and receipts.

Figure 5 was the flow chart of the head nurse. The head nurse could
manage the patient release order granted manually by the attending doctor of the
admitted patient and they could also view the patient history. By logging in to the
system, the head nurse could manage whether the patient was ready to go home
or not.
Taguig City University

Figure 5. Flow Chart of Head Nurse Module


Figure 6 was the flow chart of the pharmacist. The pharmacist could
login to the system. He or she could manage the inventory and check the status
of medicines availability. The pharmacist could also print the pre-ordered list of
medicines to the patient and the total amount. The pre-ordered list was the
Taguig City University
patient’s itemized order of items in the pharmacy and its total amount dues which
was to be paid at the billing department.

Figure 6. Flow Chart of Pharmacist Module


Figure 7 was the flow chart of the billing officer. He or she could login to
the system and manage the billing transactions of the patient as well as the
pharmaceutical payments. The billing officer could also view the patient billing
status and clear the patient’s billing statement in order for the patient to finally
check out.

Methodology
Taguig City University
Simple Random Sampling

This chapter explains various methodologies that were used in gathering


data and analysis which are relevant to the research. The methodologies will
include areas such as the location of the study, research design, sampling and
sample size, types of data, data collection method and its management.
This research will provide you the preventative healthcare of the students and
staffs on Technological University of the Philippines. This also explores the start-
up operation of a new developed university clinic.

This study descriptive research design is defined as a research method


that described the characteristics of the population that is being studded. As was
used data was collected from the respondents at one point in time. This design
always focuses more on what of the research subject rather the why of the
research subject. The data for this research was further collected at the
Technology University of the Philippines Clinic.

The study was carried out inside the Technological University of the
Philippines. The researcher used online data based on management data given
to us. This research includes the sum number of the students and staffs and the
sum number of equipment and facilities use in university clinic.

CONTINUES IMPROVEMENT
After 44years, The Technological University of the Philippines Clinic will
continues the improvement in medical process, improve care and improve the
Taguig City University
patients experience face many challenges, including the need to align changes
across of identifying, prioritizing, and implement these changes can be improve
with the right tools equipment such as laboratory room equipment, facilities and
medical process. Have ability to improve care, patient experience, and save lives
through quality improvement project that reduce clinical variation, preventable
medical errors and improve the bottom line. And a school clinic that is primarily
focused on the care of outpatients, can be privately operated or publicly manage.
They typically cover the primary health care needs of patient and at the same
time, maybe growing into institutions as large as major school medical hospital or
becoming associated with a hospital.
In medical technology, have a system website that the content must be
fresh, relevant, on-topic, non-plagiarized optimized for search engine with a
proper technical structure of the website and each page, easy to access, record
and find the data of patient, have a free online consultation (only patient at the
Technology University of the Philippines) building quick, secure, and search
engines love them. Incorporate high quality videos animations, create a list
capture for patient’s emails, and even connect the latest reputation and text
messaging communication.
And still the Technological University of the Philippines Clinic aimed at
making more improvements in these categories;
 The safety - Since this grew up as a school medical clinic, all staff,
students and teachers will priority their safety, have a 1 st aid and primary
healthcare needs.

 Effectiveness - It refers “how a drugs work in a real-world situation” the


effectiveness of drugs and sufficient dose or duration of use.
Taguig City University
 Patient-centeredness - Improvement the practices of caring for patients
in ways that are meaningful and valuable to the individual patient. It
includes listening to informing and involving patients in their care.

 Access – Easy to connect or receive the patient health care or access to


comprehensive, quality health care services.

Document Retention and Management

DEFINING DOCUMENT RETENTION


A records retention program includes the systematic storage, tracking, and
destruction of business documents and records. A retention program identifies
the records that need to be kept and outlines guidelines for how long different
record types should be stored and how they should be destroyed.

LEGAL RISK
Poor record retention and management can lead to heavy fines and
penalties
DATA THEFT/BREACH
Managing private files can lead to data breaches from loss or theft

TYPES OF RECORDS TO RETAIN


 Medical Records  Employee Records
 Business Documents  Patient Record

ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM


Nearly every record that the clinic retains can be scanned and converted
to a digital format. Digital files create quick access and instant backups.
Taguig City University

RECORD STORAGE FACILITIES


Facilities typically index document inventories, keeping track of documents
for easy retrieval once retention times are up.

WHAT TO KEEP AND WHAT TO SHRED


Once records finally pass their retention periods, they should be shredded and
destroyed.

Reporting and Data Gathering


List of Data gathering methods:
Formal Interview:

We went on Technological University of the Philippines Clinic to gather


some data based on what we need to do to developed the future master plan.

For the patient satisfaction questionnaire:


Here is the list of the question we wanted to ask to them:
 They don’t seem to listen to anything I tell them during my
 consultation
 I feel that I’m in good hands when I come to the clinic
 I’m always given a clean explanation of why I am having tests
done.
 The person I see in clinic really knows what he/she is talking
about.
 I am given good advice on how to cope with my illness.
 No matter how long you have to wait in clinic, it’s worth it.
Taguig City University
 I’m satisfied with the care I receive in the clinic.
 My questions are answered in words that I find hard to understand
 I’m given as much time as I need for my consultation.
 They don’t seem to listen to anything I tell them during my
consultation

For the system proposal questionnaire:


Here is the list of the question we wanted to ask to them:
 Do you have existing system?
 What kind of system? Manual of Automated?
 How does your system help the school?
 What is the problem of Manual system?
 Why you need automated system?

Electronic Mail System


E-mail follow-up allows retention and clarification of advice provided in
clinic. Often patients under the duress of illness forget to ask important
questions. Selfcare instructions might not be fully understood or retained. E-mail
creates a written record that removes doubt as to what information was
conveyed.
E-mail is especially useful for information the patient would have to
commit to writing if it were given orally. Examples include addresses and
telephone numbers of other facilities to which the patient is referred; to make an
appointment; test results with interpretation and advice; instructions on how to
take medications or apply dressings; pre- and postoperative instructions; and
Taguig City University
other forms of patient education. Some frequently used educational handouts
can be ported to an e-mailer template or formatted for the provider's home page
on the World Wide Web.
This is the convenience way for the students to have a direct contact to
the physicians. Since email provides clients with a written response, it allows
them the opportunity of re-reading any information given.
Summary of communication guidelines
 Establish turnaround time for messages. Do not use e-mail for urgent
matters.

 Inform patients about privacy issues. Patients should know:

 Who besides addressee processes messages

 During addressee's usual business hours.

 During addressee's vacation or illness.

 That message is to be included as part of the medical record.

 Establish types of transactions (prescription refill, appointment scheduling,


etc.) and sensitivity of subject matter (HIV, mental health, etc.) permitted
over e-mail.

 Instruct patients to put category of transaction in subject line of message


for filtering: “prescription,” “appointment,” “medical advice,” “billing
question.”

MOBILE PHONES SYSTEM


Mobile Phones or Smart Phones become central to our daily lives, we use
it in Health Care, work setting and present both opportunities and challenges, It
serves as a means to fulfill tasks both work and at home, and also the market
preparation of this device is rising in every industrial sector and Professional
field.
Smart phones can be used in Medicine Industry such as hospitals and
even in small clinics, our smart phones devices used as a logged book, or patient
information book, to manage the information of the patient while the patient is not
in the clinic yet, the medical technologist will know all the patients cases
therefore the med tech will be prepared upon the arrival of the patient, mobile
phone also can be used as a patients, way to get some information about the
scheduling of the doctors and the laboratory provided by the clinic, therefor it is
less paper and also less hustle to put some announcements in the clinic door,
also less hustle for the patient because they don’t need to go to the clinic to know
the announcements.
Smart phone are helpful to the medical technologist because this serves
as their, patients record or patients info while they are rounding, so that they
don’t need to bring their paper copies while checking up the patient.
There are risks to be encountered while using mobile phones in such
hospitals or clinics, because some are using phones in such hospitals or clinic
because some are using their phones that are not related to their work, some are
using it just to browse their application installed on their smart phones, so that
the clinic or hospital needs to have restrictions to implement, so that using smart
phones in hospitals and clinic becomes successful.
Taguig City University

This is a Sample chart of clinics goals. Not to distract using their phones while on
their work.
Taguig City University

Web Presence
Technological University of the Philippines Clinic will also have a clinic website
where patients can learn about our clinic, health information, location, map, hours
of operation, biographical information about the physician, procedures and much
more. We will also consider educational videos for diabetes, hypertension and
many other important health issues facing society today, as well as specific
health issues facing the local area.

The website marketing strategy will be focused on increasing placement in


search engines. The practice and website will focus on the campus population.
We will develop strategies to create links from local websites in the campus
community to our master plan. Information about the website will be on the office
brochure, cards and future advertisements.

School Clinic Management System


Clinic Management System is developed to support the clinic daily operation
before this is done manually. This system will involve all the clinic operation
starting from patient. The important thing is it will become easier for the data
record and retrieval. This system will be able to generate report regarding the
clinic operation. For example, the number of patients per day and the total
collections per day. This system is able to check the inventory for the medicine in
the clinic. The target user for this system is staff of the clinic, doctor and also the
management. Prototyping approach is applied while developing this system.

The School Clinic Management System is the presenters' product, a system that
aims to be reliable and be useful to school clinics. The aim of this system is to
solve minimal problems such as difficulty of encoding data, time management
Taguig City University
and confidentiality issues. These kinds of problems are very common, especially
with those having a paper – based system to go through. Basically, the system is
an alternative solution to the School Clinic's paper works.

Problem Statement
Before this, the management of the clinic is done manually. There are some
problem arise especially for the data retrieval. Clinic has a problem of loss of
patient data. There is also redundant patient data if the patient not sure whether
they have come to the clinic before. So the clerk considers the patient as a new
patient and adds new data. Currently, the inventory for the medicine is done
manually. The management of the clinic also has to takes times to check for the
medicine inventory.

Purpose and Objectives


The main objective of the study is to solve all the aforementioned problems and
to provide easy accessibility with all the documents and information that the
School Clinic handles. The system will provide a more accurate record of all the
students – from their personal information to their medical backgrounds. It will
also provide a complete list of all the available medicines – mostly basic kinds
that the students can use. It is important for the clinic and the system to be ready
for some “illness” a student may have or conditions for us to able to help them
recover. The system will oversee all of the equipment’s inside the School Clinic,
in order to know the current state of every apparatus and make sure that
everything functions well or nothing is missing.

Significance of the study
 The clinic management system will improve clinic operation for both staff
and the patient
 For the staff, it will make it easy during registration process. If the patient
is an existing patient, they can easily retrieve back the record of the
patient.
 For the doctor they can view history record of patient. In case, if the
patient allergy with the certain medicine, the doctor will give an alternative
medicine for the patient.
 For the management, it will help them view the report operation of the
clinic. The other thing is it will maintain the account for the clinic.

Scope and Limitation


Scope
Students will benefit with the system that we proposed because they can use the
clinic effectively, as they will become the primary “customers”. Teachers and
Staff may also benefit with the system. In terms, if they, too, are not feeling well,
they can go to the clinic and will be assisted the same way the students were
handled. Lastly, the school itself may also benefit with the system the proponents
proposed. Once they used the system in the school clinic, the records will be
secured and accessibility of all the lists and inventory will be checked and
managed effectively. The research study is open for all the future researchers.
They can develop the proposed system so that it can become a greater help and
contribute more with the span of technology not just for schools, but worldwide.

Limitation
 First, all of the expenses and other money – related concerns and issues
will not be handled by the system.
 Next, the system may be reliable but will not function without a person
behind it. Its’ dependence on the prepared instructions are limited and it
will only what the user allows it to do and what it is only programmed to
function.
 The system, too, will just have a dual – interface, meaning that it will only
work through two (2) users, one for the administration and one for the
patients/users. However, you can register a new user for emergency
situations.
 it can also be a subject to occasional problems such as lagging, however
it will depend on how functional the hardware is.
 The administration may add, edit and delete information and the user can
only add and edit. The proponents require to only having one admin, but
many users as possible.
