Abstract
This project focused on the development of an electronic health record management system with a smartcard to improve University of Ilorin health record management service. This represents a transition from the traditional paper-based patient record keeping to a more a sophisticated electronic/computer-based format. The software was created with XAMPP platform and QR code generator was used for the accompanying smart card. MySQL was used to create the database and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), CSS and Javascript were used for the design of the interface, styling and sending of queries. The database was connected with the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) so that data can be selected and inserted into the database using server-side execution. Either username and password or smart card can be used to log in into various sections of the system. The developed system would see to the improvement in the University of Ilorin’s health care record management when fully deployed, which would reduce problems associated with patients’ records keeping and also increase the rate at which data is accessed, thus improving healthcare service delivery.
