Cost Benefit Analysis and Feasibility study of Hospital Management System is performed in Project management. Alternative solutions to problems of the Hospital Management System is created.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hospital Management Business Case is aimed to provide a self-diagnosis for user staying far
from the hospital. The software product to be produced is a Hospital Management System which
will automate the major hospital operations. This application will be useful to the people who are
far away from the hospitals and the patients can get treatment when the doctor is not available in
hospital also.
This system will be helpful to the people who are busy with their professional work. Because,
they can get doctor suggestions through online and can share their problems with doctor. The
self-diagnosis feature helps the patient for taking medicine without consulting the doctor. But, it
can provide treatment up to some level that means rectifiable diseases without doctor suggestion
with some dosage of tablets.
This may be useful to the patients who are in far distance from hospital and to the doctors also to
interact with patients in or out of the hospital. Administrator can update medicines in database
frequently. We can facilitate a suggestion box to the patients to improve my application.
INTRODUCTION
The system aimed to the Self-diagnosis with advanced hospital management system is to provide
a self test to the patient, if hospitals are not available in near places. Our project includes
registration of patients, storing their details into the system and also computerized billing in the
pharmacy, and labs. This application is developed by using one of the heuristic search
techniques in artificial intelligence i.e. greedy local search. This system provides an additional
facility, that is patient can interact with an appropriate doctor through online chatting or
discussion forum. Patient can get appropriate suggestions to his problem.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to automate the major hospital operations. The self-diagnosis
feature helps the patient for taking medicine without consulting the doctor. But, it can provide
treatment up to some level that means rectifiable diseases without doctor suggestion with some
dosage of tablets.
Our software has the facility to give a unique id for every patient and stores the details of every
patient and the staff automatically. It includes a search facility to know the current status of each
room. User can search availability of a doctor and the details of a patient using the id. The
Hospital Management system can be entered using a username and password. It is accessible by
the administrator. Only he can add data into the database. The data can be retrieved easily. The
interface is very user-friendly. The data are well protected for personal use and makes the data
processing very fast.

JUSTIFICATION
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Our system is aimed to the self-diagnosis with hospital management system is to provide a self-
test to the patient, if hospitals are not available in near places. This system provides an additional
facility, that is patient can interact with an appropriate doctor through online chatting or
Discussion forum. This system includes registration of patients, storing their details into the
system, and also computerized billing in the pharmacy, and labs
ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACT
This system can be helpful to the hospital management, because it consists of patient billing
system from the time of admission in the hospital. Patient billing means the payment for the
doctor, dispensaries, medicines and staff. This application useful to the people who are far away
from the hospitals and the patients can get treatment when the doctor not available in hospital
also.
BUSINESS IMPACT
All the medicines information is stored in the database tables for each disease, as well as
symptoms also maintained in the tables. Details of doctors and patients will be maintained in the
tables. The software will be having security functions to keep the user’s record safely. Hospital
management application will be made available for any users. The availability of the software
will be 24/7 hrs.
PROCESS IMPACT
User don’t need appointment to meet the doctors, they can directly discuss their problem with
doctor in our online discussion forum or can send their queries. An app is made of the HMS
software. The end users can use this alternative while travelling or in emergency. The app will
contain basic functions like self-diagnosis and medicine prescription. This app will be free and
no registration is required for the users having login with the product.
SOLUTION OBJECTIVES
Our system helps general people for suggesting the required medicine. In a modern era, less
people are going to use homeopathic medicines, because it takes much time to recover from
problem. So, this system would be helpful to develop that type of self-diagnosis system for
pharmaceutical medicines.

3. SOLUTION
SOLUTION STATEMENT
The goal of any system development is to develop and implement the system cost effectively;
user-friendly. This suggestion may be in the two forms. First suggestion may be an appropriate
medicine based on symptom Intensity level. Second suggestion may be a specialized doctor
meeting that means his disease may be in a critical state.
ANTICIPATED IMPROVEMENTS
The first step in system development life cycle is the identification of need of change to improve
or enhance an existing system. The cost of using this software will be minimal as it will be used
by the people staying in remote area and urban area. The user doesn’t need appointment to meet
the doctor; they can directly discuss their problem with doctor in our online discussion forum or
can send their queries. Using this software will save the doctoral fees and extra charges that are
above the reach of common people.
SOLUTION IMPACT
There is no need of being technically expertise to use the software. A person having basic
knowledge of computer can use the software. This has been discovered that many people have to
wait for long in scheduling appointment with the doctors, but this problem is also solved by our
software. Hospital management system created the computerized hospital environment by
eliminating the manual work by the staff. This system (HMS) provides online diagnosis, retrieval
and updating facility. This system provides very less paper work and everything is stored
electronically. Information can be retrieved very easily without searching into registers.
SOLUTION RATIONALE
Users just need to register once and can use the services without any kind of inconvenience.
They don’t need appointment to meet the doctors; they can directly discuss their problem with
doctor in our online discussion forum or can send their queries.
ALTERNATIVES
ALTERNATIVE 1:
An app is made of the HMS software. The end users can use this alternative while travelling or
in emergency. The app will contain basic functions like self-diagnosis and medicine prescription.
This app will be free and no registration is required for the users having login with the product.

Mobile number of the consulting doctors will be provided for emergencies. In case of there is
patient in serious condition then he can contact their respective physician or doctors.
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES:-
This system (HMS) provides online diagnosis, retrieval and updating facility. This system
provides very less paper work and everything is stored electronically. Information can be
retrieved very easily without searching into registers.
Alternative 1 will bring the attraction of majority of people as nowadays 90% of the people stay
connected with their mobile phones.
Alternative 2 will make the users more secure especially for the handicapped and the old age
people. But there will be a fine of $50 in case of unnecessary calls.
METRICS USED:-
Performance metric is being used in the Hospital Management System. The objective of this
metric is to measure productivity of resources involved in project and let PM assess over or
under-utilization cases.
Utilization% = Total Effort spent by resource/Total Budgeted Effort for the resource
Budgeted effort is the planned billable work of resource. Any over-utilization and under-
utilization indicated by this metric has an impact on the project’s profitability.

5. COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS
To assess economic feasibility, management has to analyze costs and benefits associated with the
proposed project. The capital cost of a project affects the economic evaluation. Cost estimating is
essentially an intuitive process that attempts to predict the final outcome of a future capital
expenditure. Even though it seem impossible to come up with the exact number of costs and
benefits for a particular project during this initial phase of the development process.
COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Developing an IT application is an investment. Since after developing that application it provides
the organization with profits. Profits can be monetary or in the form of an improved working
environment. However, it carries risks, because in some cases an estimate can be wrong. And the
project might not actually turn out to be beneficial.
Cost benefit analysis helps to give management a picture of the cost, benefits and risks. It usually
involves comparing alternate investments.
Cost benefit determines the benefits and savings that are expected from the system and compares
them with the expected costs.
In performing cost and benefit analysis it is important to identify cost and benefits factors. Cost
and benefits can be categorized into the following categories:
1. Development Costs – Development costs is the costs that are incurred during the
development of the system. It is one time investment.
2. Operating Costs – Operating Costs are the expenses required for the day to day running of
the system. Examples of Operating Costs are Wages, Supplies and Overheads.

6. 3. Hardware/Software Costs – It includes the cost of purchasing or leasing of computers and
it’s peripherals. Software costs involves required S/W costs.
4. Personnel Costs – It is the money spent on the people involved in the development of the
system.
5. Facility Costs – Expenses that are incurred during the preparation of the physical site where
the system will be operational. These can be wiring, flooring, acoustics, lightning, and air-
conditioning.
6. Supply Costs – These are variable costs that are very proportionately with the amount of use
of paper, ribbons, disks, and the like.
 BENEFITS
We can define benefits as
Profit or Benefit = Income – Costs
Benefits can be accrued by:
 Increasing income, or
 Decreasing costs, or
 Both
