HEALTH SERVICES MONITORING SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC NOTIFICATION FOR BRGY KAUSWAGAN

Abstract

The healthcare sector is being transformed by information technology, particularly through adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). This research addressed operational challenges at Barangay Kauswagan Health Center Main by developing and implementing an intelligent web-based Health Services Monitoring System. An Agile methodology was employed, involving iterative cycles of planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and review. Data was gathered from 50 stakeholders, including healthcare professionals and patients, through interviews and surveys. The developed system focused on automating patient record management with integrated search, implementing automated immunization reminders, and streamlining report generation. Results demonstrate significant improvements: an 85% reduction in record retrieval time (observed decrease from 5 minutes to under 1 minute), a 20% increase in monthly immunization rates due to automated SMS reminders, and a 75% reduction in report generation time. The system's successful implementation demonstrates its potential to enhance operational efficiency, improve patient care, and expedite reporting in community healthcare settings.
