Web based reporting system for the communicable disease surveillance of Samutprakarn provincial public health office

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to design and develop a web based reporting system for communicable disease surveillance by utilizing existing resources to solve some problems which were still found from the previous program and legacy system of Samutprakarn Provincial Public Health Office. A web to database technology was chosen for development. MySQL was used as a database server. Apache as a web server, PHP as a script language to interact between web and database server and was used to generate reports. The system data could be retrieved from HCIS program and Rp.506 program. The RAS , FTP and Mail server of an existing network infrastructure were used for data transferring. The outcome of this study is the web based reporting system for communicable disease surveillance applied at Samutprakarn provincial public health office. This system provides an easy way to access the reports of communicable disease surveillance. Health officers from all levels of Samutprakarn province could request for the report at anytime and from anywhere with their familiar web browser program. They always receive the latest information because the report is generated from database every time when user requests. The system provides several ways of data entry entering data directly via web screen and entering data in .txt file extension. The system can generate an XML document which will be used for future data interchange. Furthermore, the web-based reporting system opens an opportunity for a system administrator to manage it remotely too;"สำนักงานสาธารณสุขจังหวัดสมุทรปราการได้พัฒนาโปรแกรม506 ขึ้นเพื่อใช้ในระบบ รายงานสำหรับ การเฝ้าระวังโรคติดต่อ และ โปรแกรม HCIS เป็นระบบที่พัฒนาจากกระทรวงสาธารณสุขเพื่อใช้ในสถานีอนามัย จากการปฏิบัติงานจริงยังพบปัญหาบางประการ วัตถุประสงค์ในการศึกษาครั้งนี้จึงเป็นการออกแบบและพัฒนา ระบบรายงานบนเว็บสำหรับการเฝ้าร"
