Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has made significant impact on healthcare industry across the globe. Its adoption and use, which result into e-healthcare, has transformed the way healthcare services are delivered. Hospitals in Nigeria are adopting e-healthcare in order to improve transparency, efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery. This paper attempts to present a developed Patient Management Information Systems (PMIS) using a case study of General (State) Hospital, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. The main objective is to design a web-based medical application capable of eliminating paper-based healthcare system where patient’s health information are collected every time a patient visits the healthcare centre thereby allowing e-healthcare physicians to collect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) only once and frequently update its related medical records. The application is based on a browser/server framework. PMIS supports adaptive as well as standard recording of patient’s data, along with automatic appointment notification and record keeping using the WAMP server as a delivery channel.
