Hospital Patient Record Management System in PHP

Hospital Patient Record Management System in PHP (CodeIgniter) with free source code — a web-based records system for storing and managing patient information, staff, treatments, and payment records in one place.

This project is built with PHP and MySQL on the CodeIgniter framework, with a Bootstrap front end. It is a practical capstone-level project for IT and computer science students who want to learn how a records-driven hospital application is structured, and a useful starting point for anyone building a patient information system.

What is a Hospital Patient Record Management System?

It is an application that replaces paper-based patient files with a central database. Staff register patients once, then attach treatments, procedures, and payment records to that patient over time. Administrators manage user accounts and can back up or restore the database, so records survive hardware failures and staff changes.

Key Features

• User management — user registration, user types, change password, manage registration info, and login details.
• Database management — built-in backup and restore.
• Staff module — create/add and manage staff.
• Patient module — create/add and manage patients.
• Procedure & payments — record payment ID, payment date, patient, staff, designation, treatment type, and description; disease-wise procedure report.
• Reports — patient info records and user login details report.
• Multi-PC support plus quick shortcuts to common desktop utilities.

Technologies Used

PHP (CodeIgniter framework), MySQL, HTML, CSS, jQuery, and Bootstrap.

How to Install and Run
