Design and implementation of a web based information system for National Health Insurance Scheme using the object-relational database approach

Abstract

The design and implementation of a web-based administrative information system for National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) using its guidelines has been carried out. The system allows any NHIS-Registered patient to visit any registered provider anywhere in the country and be assigned to a doctor. To carry out the project we proposed a suitable architecture for the design of a model of object-relational database for it’s implementation. The .NET framework has been explored for use in designing a web-based working prototype for the scheme with cold fusion mark-up language (cfml) using Dream Weaver platform; Backend is Access DBMS with ColdFusion web server
acting as middle-tier.
