1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Manual inventory management
systems are certainly a way to start, in the past, it was the only
option and these may work for smaller health facilities and surgery
centers. However, a manual inventory management system takes a
considerable amount of time and effort to maintain. With the use of
automated hospital inventory management system, an opportunity for
better management of hospital properties has been gained. Computerized
inventory management system has the capability to manage and process
large volumes of data quickly and provide reports that will help the
Hospital management take better care of patients, details of all the
cases carried out in the hospital.

Diagnosis:
- Determination of the nature of a disease from the observed symptom.

(input), processing data (process) and outputting data (information)
under the influence of a stored program.
Prescription: - Advices or
order on test output patient of a patient who receives treatment in a
hospital but does not stay in the hospital during the curse of illness.
Database
management system (DBMS):- A collection data or (programs) which stored
electronically for factures retrieval of file when needed.
Therapy: - Curative treatment
Computer
base system: - This is the system whereby the activity of data that
bring out meaningful information is being taken care of by the computer.
Data:
- This is use to denoted facts numbers, symbols, characters and letter
that have the descramble ideas, objects that are needed to be processed
before a useful information is gather.
Symptom: -Signs a patient exhibits for a particular disease.

non-existence, inadequate or poor maintenance of stock records.
Physical stock: - This is the stock physical in stock at a given point in time.
Free stock: - It is the physical stock plus outstanding orders minus unfulfilled requirement.
Maximum
stock: - This is a stock level chosen as the maximum desirable which
used as an indicator to show when stock have risen too high.
Re-order level: -This is the level of stock at which a replacement order should be placed.
Re-order quantity: -This is the level of stock at which or quantity of order used for replenishment of stock.
Buffer stock: - This is a stock allowance made to cover errors in forecasting.
Computer
in medicine: - The uses of the computer in the medical file are partly

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 3 ]In some clinics, a computer is used, albeit in an experimental way to interview patient before or after they see a doctor in order to collect information for the patient’s record and even to assist with the diagnostic process. It is suggested that patients are more relaxed and honest and frank with their replies when faced with an impersonal machine. The computer may assist in medical diagnosis; for example, there are programs that can carry out electro-cardiogram analysis to determine bo ... Continue reading---
