ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to improve an appointment management system. The appointment management system is developed to improve the service delivery at hospitals and aims to save visitors time and effort when attending at the Polyclinic department. This device also aims to improve patients’ gratification, which is an important driver quality portion. By using the system, visitors, patients, and staff will book an appointment easily without calling or receiving help from the customer service unit.
In addition, the system provides contact info that give more details about the hospital and the services provided to patients. Officials and employees of the hospital, including the manager, heads of sections of the hospital and even the reception staff can use the appointments management system. We have noticed that especially in any hospital, booking appointment or editing appointment can be a challenging function. Better orientation for the customer is going to be the key to obtain customer satisfaction.TABLE OF CONTENTS TOC o “9-9” h z ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSABSTRACTTABLE OF CONTENTSLIST OF TABLESLIST OF FIGURESLIST OF SYMBOLS / ABBREVIATIONSLIST OF APPENDICESCHAPTERS TOC o “2-4” h z u 1INTRODUCTION1.1Project Statement81.

This system aims to improve the patients’ satisfaction. By using the system, visitors, patients, will be able to know hospital contact info easily without the need of help from the customer service unit , also the patients can book and manage their appointments in the hospital. This system was improved to help the customer service unit to locate by saving there time and patient time otherwise would have been provided by Absher Employees. Absher Employees work in hospitals to help the patients in different ways such as guiding the patients to the right Unit ( customer service unit ) .More specifically, this system has been designed under the customer services category to help different classes of stakeholders. The system will give more information about the clinic or services the user chooses. This info is because each clinic in the Polyclinic building includes other different clinic.
For example, Medicine Clinic contains Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Rheumatology and Infectious Disease clinic. Therefore, this system will show all the several service in the same system .Aims and Objectives1-The MAS is a mobile application used to relocate visitors, patients and also staff to their desired pages in the Polyclinic department without the need to receive logistic guidance from the customer service unit .2- The system is developed to improve the service delivery at hospitals and aims to save visitors time and effort when attending at the Polyclinic department.
The system also achieves to improve patients’ satisfaction, which is an important medical quality part.3- The system will display a map and give more info about the different floors and the services give it to the patients in each floor. Officials and employees of the hospital, contains the manager, would benefit from this feature.4- The system will authenticate users first.
Then they can set appointments and find out places. The system will be designed as an Ipad application and installed in the hospital main reception. Then the system sends SMS to your phone number to make sure about your info and dates.LITERATURE REVIEWThe first we give some definition then we present similar system.

2Similar Systemsappointmenteasy.com1The main direction of this portal is the healthcare market. With a main focus on the European medical professionals. The service is cost-free and the funding for the portal operation is made through the Ads on the portal, some optional paid features like SMS reminders and is an optional ad-free premium version of the portal for a better and smoother user experience.The system was built with doctors in mind, which means it offers more features than the general scheduling suits do. These features range from the ability for patients to select their preferred health insurance provider when booking an appointment, to management tools for medical office secretaries.
However, we think the user interface of the portal is not as user-friendly as other portals. Also, the focus on the European region medical market limits some functionalities for the U.S and other countries based professionals.Tajawal.com2This planning framework operates with coordination of the user’s current location to permit online arrangement booking services. The portal was developed for a wide range of different businesses (airports, hotels, restaurants).
Gmail, Google Calendar and Microsoft outlook sync are available. The service is free and the earnings are made through Ads within the portal and some optional paid service like SMS reminders.Appointy3This popular appointment scheduling software is supported by many operating systems and also has its own native mobile apps for ios and Android. The free version of the software offers one staff seat, five services and unlimited booking. The software is supported by ads and is feature-limited.
