Implementing an online patent booking system for the Makuang Medical Group.

Abstract

This study reports on the design and development of a Web-based appointment booking system for the Ma Kuang Medical Group. It was noticed that patients spent more time in the waiting room than in the examining room. In order to reduce patients' waiting time, a Web-based appointment booking system is proposed, which will combine electronic booking with a choice of time, date and location for medical appointments, and is intended primarily for members of the public. Corresponding administration functions are also provided to system administrators.
