Question 2 (41 marks)
The Stellenbosch clinic handles patient registration and monitoring manually. The current manual system requires the receptionist to fill out a form to register new patients manually. However, this practice necessitates a highly structured document management system for ease of reference, error checking, and retrieval efficiency. Most of the time, the receptionist takes an extremely long time to register or track patients. This is primarily because the receptionist must search through a large number of physical files before finding the correct ones.

The current system’s disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to manage the entire system manually. In addition, it is less efficient than a computerized system. Keeping data in files for safety and future reference could be harmful because the files can be easily destroyed. Furthermore, data retrieval is complicated. It is also difficult to achieve data redundancy, leading to significant inconsistencies. The manual system is also very time-consuming. One of the primary advantages of the proposed system is its simplicity of operation. The proposed system is also fast and highly accurate compared to the existing system. It is also worth noting that the proposed system makes no provision for redundancy. The data is securely stored and can be retrieved and used at any time.

The proposed system will effectively be able to handle all data and all work currently performed by the manual system. The proposed system will greatly reduce the current system’s problems while also providing tight data security. The receptionist’s workload will be reduced as a result of the implementation of this system. The receptionist will not have to sift through numerous files to find the necessary documents. Furthermore, the system is expected to reduce the use of paper and the time required to go through all files.
