Hospital Management System

Modern hospitals manage large volumes of patient, doctor, appointment, and billing data on a daily basis. Traditional manual systems often lead to inefficiency, errors, and delays in patient care. The proposed Hospital Management System (HMS) is a desktop-based application developed using Java, JDBC, and MySQL, designed to automate hospital operations and improve administrative and clinical workflows. The system allows secure user authentication, patient registration, doctor management, appointment scheduling, medical record handling, billing generation, and pharmacy inventory tracking. JDBC enables seamless connectivity between Java-based GUI components (Swing/JavaFX) and the MySQL database, ensuring fast data retrieval and robust transaction processing. The research demonstrates how Java-based desktop applications can be used to build reliable, scalable, and efficient healthcare management solutions for small and medium hospitals.
