Online Patient Information Management System (OPIMS) is an extensive, coordinated information system designed to manage patient’s data in hospitals with the administrative process. Health care centers depend on patient information, for the efficiency of administrative process and for better management. The principle objective of OPIMS is to streamline the stream of data from the hospital towards decision making for patient planning and management in an enhanced and effective way. A Computerized PIMS will be important in light of the fact that, there are a considerable measure of challenges in keeping up a lot of data on paper, particularly as there is usually no backup for the data, access to data can be tedious in the event that requires for the search of a file, and accuracy is required in the recording of key data, and the administrator cannot manage all that is composed on the tremendous measure of paper to be utilized. Hence, it is very important for health organizations like hospitals and clinics to have a computerized patient information management system. The system was implemented via the following technologies; PHP, HTML, MySQL, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
