>Magister Scientiae - MSc / The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the development of a web application
from scratch. It serves to build a health management information system from
basic principles and covers all the software engineering activities starting from
the gathering of requirements, evaluating these and eventually implementing
a health management information system by applying several iterations of
the Agile-extreme-programming-software-engineering approach to develop a
Health Management System for the Kabul University Poly-clinic located at
Kabul University campus in order to computerize clerical activities at the
hospital. Questionnaires were used to uncover the clerical problems experienced
by the hospital sta . Attempts to address these problems by designing and im-
plementing software and re ne the software after some iterations of feedback-
redesign-and-implementation following the guidelines of Agile extreme pro-
gramming. The previous Health management systems at the hospital were paper
based. The new computerized system has eased the burdens of tracking the
les of patients at the hospital, leading to easier and more e cient access to
information by the health-care professionals at the hospital. An assessment
of the impact this has had on the medical and clerical sta and the smoother
administration of the hospital by repeated user acceptance testing by means
of questionnaires con rms the success of the project.
