Introduction:
If anybody is ill and wants to visit a doctor for check-up, he or she needs to visit the hospital and waits
until the doctor is available. The patient also waits in a queue while getting appointment. If the doctor
cancels the appointment for some emergency reasons then the patient is not able to know about the
cancelation of the appointment unless or until he or she visits the hospital. As the mobile communication
technology is developing rapidly, therefore, one can use the websites to overcome such problems and
inconvenience for the patients.
The proposed work in this paper is an Online Hospital Management Website that uses a web platform
that makes the task of making an appointment from the doctor easy and reliable for the users. Web based
online doctor appointment application contains two modules. One module is the web designed for the
patient that contains a login screen. The patient has to register himself before logging in to the
application. After logging in, the patient can select a hospital and can view the hospital details. The
patient has the option of selecting a doctor from the list of doctors and can view the doctor’s details. The
patient can request for an appointment on his/her preferred day/time. The selected day/time slot will be
reserved and patient will receive the notification of the successfully added appointment. The patient can
view the location of the hospital on map. In addition, the patient can contact to the hospital and the
doctor by making a call or may send an email to the doctor. There are considerable online scheduling
tools in the internet, a few of which are trait loaded, simple to setup and economical. For practitioners,
online appointment reservation and scheduling delivers a lot of merit added benefits and services, like
captivating the patient, composing the patient to feel welcomed, and being capable to save patients’
details safely for future information. But the most admirable and useful preference is that online
appointment reservation and scheduling is remarkably in expensive. Both doctors and patients can access
the portal through their unique ID’s.

Key Features:

1. User Registration and Authentication: Patients and doctors can create accounts
securely, allowing them to access personalized features and information.

2. Appointment Scheduling: Patients can view available time slots for different doctors
and specialties, select a convenient slot, and book appointments accordingly.

3. Real-time Availability Updates: The application dynamically updates appointment

availability based on real-time changes, ensuring accurate scheduling.
3
4. Automated Reminders: Patients receive automated reminders via email or SMS to
reduce no-show rates and ensure appointment adherence.

5. Patient Profiles: Patients can maintain profiles containing medical history, insurance
information, and personal details, facilitating a smoother consultation process.

6. Doctor Profiles: Doctors can create profiles showcasing their specialties,

qualifications, availability, and clinic location.

7. Calendar Management: Doctors can manage their schedules, view upcoming

appointments, and block off time for personal or professional commitments.

8. Waiting List Management: Patients can join a waiting list for preferred time slots,
allowing them to be notified if an earlier appointment becomes available due to
cancellations.

9. Secure Communication: Patients can communicate securely with their healthcare

providers, seeking clarification or sharing relevant information prior to
appointments.

10. Feedback and Reviews: After consultations, patients can provide feedback and
ratings, enabling continuous improvement in service quality.
