| dc.description.abstract | The Emergency Treatment Unit
(ETU) in Sri Lankan Hospitals runs based on
paper- based manual process and results in
delays in delivering patient reports, losing them
and delay in the treatments. In addition, due to
the limited number of beds inside the Coronary
Care Unit (CCU), it has become more important
to identify the most severe patients to be
admitted into the CCU. So, if the correct patient
to be admitted is not identified properly, another
patient in the unit could fall into a more critical
condition. ETU Management System is a webbased
system, which automates the current
manual process inside the ETU and is capable of
identifying the most suitable patient that should
be treated inside the CCU, using a specific
scoring system calculated by monitoring the
symptoms of the patient at ETU assessment.
Patient tracking system is a mobile application
provided for patients and their guardians, which
gives patients the facility to contact his/her
guardian and doctor in any case of emergency, as
well as enables Guardians to track the patient’s
location and notifies them via the mobile
application, if the location of the patient is
changed in any case. The proposed ETU
management system helps to take the Sri Lankan
medical field into another era by eliminating
traditional paper-based manual processes. | en_US |
