Abstract
Globally, health care sector is the pivot and integral part of human lives. Thus, any error committed in the clinical services might leads to defect or termination of life. Recently, information and Communication has been used extensively to improve the various operations and services in the field of the health care service. Patient appointment scheduling with the Doctor is one of the clinical services that have been automated. In developing counties like Nigeria, the clinical system is faced with plethora of issues. These include: long waiting of patient, queues, congestion of patient over a long period of time without been attended to. This paper focuses on developing a system to improve upon the efficiency and quality of delivering. The proposed algorithm eliminates the manual system of registration and its drawbacks, by implementing a simple round robin (RR) architecture in real time system which introduce a concept of assigning different time quantum to different funds of RR scheduling algorithm. functionalities of registration of patient data in the database and scheduling of patient. The system is designed to enable a more efficient patient clinic section with an improved organization setting by maximizing the throughput. Minimize the time between a patient and doctor, the time spent in the waiting queue will be minimized. minimizing response to a patient, increasing the number of patients attended to and also Improve work efficiency.
