that helps hospitals to manage the scheduling of appointments for patients. Every day, people
all around the world try to make their lives more comfortable through technological
advancements. Nobody anticipates wasting their time, effort, and money by waiting in line at
a counter especially during their hospital visits.
The primary objective of this research project was to design and implement an effective
Doctor Appointment Management System within the context of Hôpital Central de
N'djamena. Whereby, the system aims to regulate appointment of patients based on doctors’
availability, hospital specialist scheduler.
By implementing DAMS, healthcare institutions can streamline their appointment
management processes, improve patient experiences, and optimize resource allocation,
ultimately leading to more efficient healthcare delivery.
Waterfall software development model was used which is carried out within different phases
following each other from analysis, designing, coding, testing and finally its deployment. The
researcher gathered data through the observation, interview and documentation methods as
data collection tools. Tools and programming languages used were HTML, CSS,
JAVASCRIPT and PHP, MYSQL for DATABASE.
In conclusion, improving patient experiences, optimizing resource allocation, and lowering
operating expenses, the Doctor Appointment Management System has transformed how
Hôpital Central de N'djamena conducts business. The case study that is presented here is
evidence of how DAMS may revolutionize healthcare environments. It emphasizes how
crucial it is to customize these systems to the unique requirements of healthcare institutions
