In healthcare services, patient medical records are becoming large in size and the complexity of exchanging patient records such as prescription detail, referral data, diagnosis status and appointment schedules between various clinic-units can be a problem without a fully integrated system. Moreover, access to patient records requires privacy. Quite a number of works have been conducted on healthcare services to address issues such as medical record inconsistency, lack of immediate record storage and retrieval and paper-based approach. Consequently, this work tries to automate and enhance the clinical services of Sule Lamido University Clinic by developing a web-based application. The application will allow both the clinicians and patients to have access to electronic records easily, which will, in turn, minimize the cost, difficulties, and ineffectiveness of working with patients’ records manually and to enhance the benefits and profits in running the clinic services. It can be used in decision making as it provides complete, reliable, accessible and understandable information pointing to the clinic progress and shortcomings. Initially, the problems of the current system were identified, the requirements were however specified and analyzed. Model of the system was designed and implemented using SDLC and finally, the system was tested and validated. The results revealed that the system complies with the specified requirements. Hence, the objectives under which the system is defined were achieved.
