DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MORTUARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
A mortuary is used for the storage of human corpses awaiting identification or removal for autopsy or disposal by burial. The aim of the study is to design and implement a Mortuary Management System. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will keep the proper record of number human body in mortuary and accurately generate bill for mortuary services when utilized.
The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that in the existing system, there is difficulty in obtaining mortuary bills report, error in computation of available space in the mortuary and computation of mortuary bills. Also, there is inability to keep the proper record of number human body in mortuary.
The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application.
The proposed system will aid easy management of mortuary billing information and provide the mortuary division of St. Gerards Catholic Hospital kaduna with an effective system to accurately compute and record mortuary bills. The expected result is a Mortuary Management System that will provide accurate computation of available space in the mortuary, accurately generate mortuary bill reports and Store mortuary billing records.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
A morgue or mortuary (in a hospital or elsewhere) is used for the storage of human corpses awaiting identification or removal for autopsy or disposal by burial, cremation or other method. In modern times corpses have customarily been refrigerated to delay decomposition. As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
1.2 Background of Study
Mortuary early 14c., from Anglo-French mortuarie “gift to a parish priest from a deceased parishioner,” from Medieval Latin mortuarium, noun use of neuter of Late Latin adjective mortuarius “pertaining to the dead,” from Latin mortuus, pp. of mori “to die” (see mortal (adj.)). Meaning “place where bodies are kept temporarily” first recorded 1865, a euphemism for earlier English term “deadhouse”. Morgue from the French morgue, which means ‘to look at solemnly, to defy’. First used to describe the inner wicket of a prison, where new prisoners were kept so that jailers and turnkeys could recognize them in the future, it took on its modern meaning in fifteenth-century Paris, being used to describe part of the Chtelet used for the storage and identification of unknown corpses.
Morgue is predominantly used in North American English, while mortuary is more common in British English, although both terms are used interchangeably. The euphemisms “Rose Cottage” and “Rainbow’s End” are sometimes used in British hospitals to enable discussion in front of patients, the latter mainly for children. A person responsible for handling and washing bodies is now known as a diener, morgue attendant, or autopsy technician.
1.3 Statement of Problem
Investigation revealed the problems identified in the existing system which are:
- Error in computation of available space in the mortuary;
- Inability to accurately calculate bill for mortuary service;
- Errors in computation of mortuary bills;
- Difficulties in obtaining mortuary bills report; and
- Inability to keep the proper record of number human body in mortuary
1.4 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of the study is to design and implement a Web Based Mortuary Management System. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will:
- Keep the proper record of number human body in mortuary;
- Accurately generate bill for mortuary services when utilized;
- Generate concise and precise mortuary bill reports;
- Store and retrieve mortuary billing records; and
- Give accurate computation of available space in the mortuary.
1.5 Significance of Study
The study is significant in the following ways:
- It will provide the mortuary division of St. Gerards Catholic Hospital kaduna with an effective system to accurately compute and record mortuary bills.
- It will aid easy management of mortuary billing information.
This study will also be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
1.6 Scope of Study
The scope of the research is focused on the Design and Implementation of a Web Based Mortuary Management System using St. Gerards Catholic Hospital Kaduna as a case study.
1.7 Limitations of the Study
During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:
- Time Constraint: The time frame given to accomplish this project was very short due to school academic calendar and it was carried out under pressure which made the researcher not to implement some necessary features.
- Establishment Policies: Establishment policies posed a serious limitation as most staffs are not ready to release information needed for this project work. There were lots of information needed from the staffs of this institution to enhance the study which took them time to release or they did not release at all for security purposes, hence the scope was reduced.
- Research material: availability of research material is a major setback to the scope of the study.
- Frequent power failure: This made the researcher append more money on fuel to ensure sustainable power.
- Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet).
1.8 Definition of Terms
Registration: This means to keep records received from the management for reference purposes.
Management: It is the co-ordination of all the resources of an Organization through the process of planning, Organization, directing and controlling
System: Physical component of a computer that is used to perform certain task.
Data: Numbers, Text or image which is in the form suitable for Storage in or processing by a computer, or incomplete information.
Information: A meaning full material derived from computer data by organizing it and interpreting it in a specified way.
