Hospital Management System: A Scalable MERN Stack Approach to Healthcare Automation

Abstract

The Hospital Management System is a web-based application developed using the MERN stack technology, which includes MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. The main objective of this project is to digitalize and automate the traditional hospital management process by providing an efficient, secure, and user-friendly platform for patients, doctors, and hospital managers. In many hospitals and clinics, maintaining patient records, appointment scheduling, and prescription management manually is time-consuming, errorprone, and difficult to manage. This project aims to overcome these problems by introducing a centralized digital system that improves communication, data management, and healthcare services. The proposed system provides separate registration and login facilities for patients, doctors, and hospital managers. Patients can securely log in to the system and book appointments with doctors by selecting preferred dates. Doctors can access appointment requests, patient details, and provide digital prescriptions through their dashboard. The hospital manager acts as the administrator and can monitor all hospital activities through a centralized dashboard. The system ensures secure data handling, reduces paperwork, improves operational efficiency, and supports better healthcare management.
