Abstract

Background: Globally tuberculosis (TB) is remains a major global health problem and ranks as the second leading cause of death among deaths caused by infectious diseases worldwide. Electronic based record is computerized medical information systems that collect, store and display patient information. It is a means of create legible and organized records to access clinical information about individual patients and facilitate early identification and successful treatment of all TB cases. Objective: To design TB patient adherence to treatment follow up system for Woreda Nine Health Center found in Nifas Silk Lafto Sub-city. Methodology: This project used the object-oriented analysis and design systems development technique and different data collection tools used to collect requirement for the system to be developed. Analysis and design of the proposed system was done by using the Unified Modeling Language, Microsoft Visio 2013, Joomla MySQL data base, PHP, and HTML. Result: The current system reviewed, the problems in data process, communication, procedures, people, software and hardware. The system was designed by identifying the entire process and system analysis proposed in the use cases. The system design includes sequence diagram, class diagram and user interface has different data such as patient demographic data, diagnosis, and patient treatments follow up, laboratory results, and generate report. The system helps to easily access, update and process those data regarding TB patients follow up system. Which will help to transform the paper based manual system to efficient and effective electronic system. Conclusion: Generally the designed system could enhance accessibility of data or patient information with the reduction of the unnecessary time wasted to search patient data and compile reports and it makes timely use of information by decision makers, which improves the current service. Recommendations: The health center collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health Regional Health Bureau and other stakeholders has to work on the implementation and usability of the system and provide the necessary system support. The researchers/students continue the project and work on the remaining parts of the system.
