ABSTRACT A doctor must have access to, examine, research, and diagnose a patient with such a sickness or ailment through medical visits and consultations. Studies in this area have been done, some allowing patients to arrange appointments with specialists, and the primary stream of these studies solely dealing with the appointment scheduling process. Real- time patient choice, in which patients may pick a day and time and the system will automatically assign a doctor who is available at that time, as well as handle patient scheduling appointments with doctors the portable broad range of application utilized in a few fields to save time handled in capacities and integrating a few fields is also a good option. Clinical and portable applications are examined and provided in this study. Flexible applications are shown as having a significant impact on the testing and evaluation of human service frameworks. Keywords: Appointment, Online Application, Hospital Schedule, Health Care. I. INTRODUCTION Patients' valuable time may be saved and the physical distance between physicians and patients reduced by using a web- based solution. Using online terminals and customized services, physicians and patients are able to have access to the information they need to have a stronger relationship. As a result of the epidemic, there have been several difficulties. Standing in line or contacting the hospital directly is not an option if you want to obtain an appointment. An Online Doctor Appointment System was built with this in mind. The primary goal of this project is to make it simple for patients to schedule appointments using an online application that addresses their concerns. In order to make an appointment, the patient may do it online. Because of the information provided by this application, patients will be able to examine the doctor's schedule and book an appointment based on their needs. Doctors and patients may both save time this way [5]. If you're sick and want to see a doctor, you'll have to go to the hospital and wait for an appointment. Getting an appointment requires a patient to wait in line. If the doctor cancels the appointment for certain emergency reasons, the patient will not hear about it until he or she visits the hospital. There are several mobile apps that may alleviate the challenges and inconveniences that patients face since mobile communication technology is advancing so swiftly [2]. Patients may check in at the clinic or hospital's counter before meeting with a doctor. Queuing up for a consultation is the goal of this stage, and people are really doing it. That's the real reason why so many people were still waiting in line for their appointments. To prevent lengthy lines, the registration procedure must be easy and fast. According to a study conducted in 2017, the excessive wait times are caused by long lines at the registration counter, which is manned by a single employee who is also in charge of assigning patients appointments. Waiting times in hospitals and clinics may also be caused by a lack of personnel. Online reservation systems are the answer to this problem. This saves money by not needing to hire additional people to work at the registration desk, and it also reduces patient wait time [1]. All patients should have access to timely and convenient healthcare facilities as part of a well-designed healthcare process. Patient wait times may be reduced via Appointment Scheduling (AS), which improves the usage of costly personnel and facilities' medical resources. When it comes to healthcare scheduling [16] appointment scheduling is all about creating an appointment system that maximizes a given quality standard. Programs for healthcare management are primarily responsible for reducing public hospital patient wait times and increasing patient satisfaction. There may be a variety of challenges that outpatient healthcare providers must overcome when dealing with a high number of patients. A patient's experience might be harmed and the www.irjmets.com @International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering, Technology and Science [3411] e-ISSN: 2582-5208 International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science ( Peer-Reviewed, Open Access, Fully Refereed International Journal ) Volume:04/Issue:07/July-2022 Impact Factor- 6.752 www.irjmets.com quality of care can be compromised if they have to wait a lengthy time for a treatment [9]. Hospitals and clinics, in general, are seeing a steady increase in the number of patients they serve. In order to keep patients coming in and keep them coming back, hospitals need to provide fast and efficient healthcare facilities. Achieving optimum capacity distribution depends on locating bottlenecks, anticipating demand-driven diversification's impact and computing the ideal distribution's optimal capacity. By identifying the best practices, using quantifiable methodologies, and having a duty to improve, healthcare institutions are judged [2]. An online doctor's appointment website that allows users to make appointments fast and easily is the focus of this study. The patient's biggest complaint is the lengthening of the wait time. High-level business people seldom have time to go to the hospital. Their hectic schedule necessitates an early booking of their appointment [15]. Time management in hospitals may be improved using this online application. Both the hospital and the clinicians who have treated the patient might be reviewed by the patient. After each appointment, patients are given the opportunity to rate their doctor. A new patient may make an educated guess about a doctor's consultation based on the reviews and ratings they've received from other patients. This patient's nearest hospital may be found with ease by searching online for the name of the facility in the area. The patient's report is stored in his or her logon for future use. This online application also mentions the doctor's cost. Healthcare and hygiene are important topics that everyone should be aware of. Medical camps may be used to impart this knowledge to the public. There is no omission of medical Camp related material. Waiting at a hospital is considerably worse for those over 60 [6]. Both physically and psychologically, they might be injured by this. Patient time is squandered when he is kept waiting for lengthy periods of time without being able to see the doctor. As a result, patients who make their appointments in advance will save time. Hospital appointment scheduling is often done by hand, which may result in additional travel costs [13]. As a result, internet reservations are an excellent way to save both time and money. Patients' records are kept on paper at most hospitals. This is not a secure method of storing information. Patients' information should be stored in a database in the ever-evolving world of technology. Both the hospital and the patient may schedule appointments using these two Web apps. In order to build the appointment Web application, the Python programming language was used. MYSQL is used to store and retrieve information about the doctor, the patient, and the hospital [7]. Name, specialty, and appointment time are all included in a doctor's personal information. A patient's id, name, report, and appointment time are all included in the patient data. Doctors and patients are two of the most important pieces of information to include in a hospital's records. Basic familiarity of mobile and internet usage is required for the user [3]. To begin, the user must first sign up for an account, either using a username and password or a phone number. It is possible for a patient to update his or her personal information as well as look for and provide feedback about a doctor or facility. In addition, the Web application offers a discussion forum where users may interact with one another and our support staff about any problems they may be encountering. The Web application's user interface has been thoughtfully crafted to make it easy for anybody to use. The administrator has access to a separate interface for updating information about the doctor's availability. It is the responsibility of hospital administration to keep all pertinent information, such as the location, physicians on call, and operating hours, up to date [12]. II. LITERATURE REVIEW Waiting Time To say that one must wait for a certain action to take place after a request or mandate has been made for that action is to use the term "waiting time" (Fernandes et al., 1994). "The amount of time between the time the patient attended the outpatient clinic to the time the patient actually got his or her prescription" has been characterised as "patient waiting time" (Jamaiah, 2003). It is defined as the time it takes to get a doctor's appointment after registering. There were two stages of waiting: first, to see a doctor, and second, to get medication (Suriani, 2003). Managing Patients’ Appointment system Managing patient appointment system is a computer programme used to manage and decrease patient waiting time in the health care facility, according to Dexter (1999). The appointment system isn't used at all at

As a result, the average patient wait time here is higher than at the hospital that uses an appointment-based scheduling system. Online booking system Web-based systems and online systems are both terms that describe the same thing. Computer programmes running web servers allow access to a collection of connected web pages, which are often known as "web pages" or "websites" (Alex, 2000). In a system, each component works independently to accomplish a shared purpose. It is thus possible to employ web-based systems to execute specialised operations through the Internet for specific objectives. The system that links computers to other computers and networks is known as the Internet. Users may access data on other computers from afar thanks to this technology, which connects millions of networks worldwide. Appointment Delay For every day a patient seeks an appointment, there is a greater probability that he/she may cancel or not show up for that appointment. There were 31 percent of the 5901 samples who cancelled or did not show up for their doctor's appointment, according to (Gallucci, G., n. d. 2005). The majority of these appointments are arranged within a few days of the appointment being made. In this case, the best course of action is to encourage patients to arrive as soon as possible or to arrange an appointment at a time that works for them (Idowu, A. P., 2014). Waiting for Registration Prior to seeing a doctor, people at the clinic and hospital are required to register at a counter. Queuing up for a consultation is essentially the goal of this phase, as people wait for their turn. It's the real reason why so many people had to wait so long to register at the counter and see the doctor in the first place. The registration procedure must be swift and easy in order to minimize the amount of time users spend waiting. Findings from a 2017 survey show that lengthy lines at the registration counter are caused by a single employee who also distributes appointments to patients (BA, A. 2017). A lack of personnel is another well-documented cause of lengthy wait times in hospitals and medical offices. Using an online booking system is the best way to deal with this problem. This may save money by not having to hire as many people to work the registration desk and it can also cut patient wait times. Online Appointment Scheduling system Using an online appointment scheduling system, a user or guest or simply, patients can access the doctor's site and make appointments using the online software. When patients come for their appointments, they may also share extra information with their doctors, allowing them to be prepared with the information they need when they arrive. An online appointment scheduling system makes it easy for people to schedule their appointments online.. Web-based appointment systems have the potential to improve patient satisfaction with registration while simultaneously reducing overall waiting times (Nazia S et al., 2014). Malik, Shafaq et.al Mr.Doc, an Android application, serves as the client, while a website functions as the server to store the doctor's information, patient information, and appointment information. The goal here is to make the process of scheduling visits with physicians as simple and stress-free as possible for patients. (John Lekan, Akinode) A web-based appointment system has been designed to decrease the amount of time spent waiting for an appointment.( S.Hema Kumar, et.al) In this article, an appointment and scheduling system for patients is developed utilizing HTML, CSS on the front end, Python and MYSQL on the back end. Doctors and patients may both register and log in to this web-based application as part of this experiment. Three sections make up the system admin, doctor, patient. III. PROBLEM STATEMENT The clinical process is manual. Patients must be manually enrolled before they need treatment. Patients need to call or goto the clinic to make an appointment, which takes more time and effort. If the person has been treated by the clinic, the staff is responsible for finding the data or files that store the patient's details. Another problem if patients forget the appointment date and time because they cannot see their schedule online [4] Even if they were able to get the patient's itinerary later, either via human mistake or a natural calamity, the printed copies may have been lost. He will have to re-register if the patient's record is lost. For the clinic www.irjmets.com @International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering, Technology and Science [3413] e-ISSN: 2582-5208 International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science ( Peer-Reviewed, Open Access, Fully Refereed International Journal ) Volume:04/Issue:07/July-2022 Impact Factor- 6.752 www.irjmets.com personnel, this might mean duplication of data, lost time, and an increase in effort from searching through hundreds of prior records for a different patient. When a doctor is unavailable, patients must wait until a time when a doctor is available [14]. 1. Comparative Study The Internet has become an essential part of contemporary technology. Web-based systems and online systems are both terms that describe the same thing. We're constantly looking for better methods to get our message through, especially in today's fast-paced environment. There are always going to be limitations, but we made a concerted effort to overcome as many of them as we could. Finding out the features of the patients was where we put most of our efforts. This system has a vast community, and it's wor th taking use of. Doctors and patients alike stand to gain from this system's implementation. One of the most common reasons for visiting a doctor's office or hospital is due to a medical issue that requires immediate attention. However, many patients are unable to afford a doctor's consultation fee, so they wait in line for hours or even days. [12] Reservations may be made in a variety of ways. A web-based system enables patients to book an appointment at a nearby hospital without having to leave their homes or offices. For this reason, we've devised a scheduling system that makes it easier for patients to get the care they need while also increasing their sense of security. Our goal is to give you with a system that will be very beneficial. Our technique is the most effective and saves you a significant amount of time. 2. Scope of Problem As mentioned, the patient has some difficulty in making an appointment with the doctor. The current system does not meet the requirements. Therefore, we can summarize some issues here. • Using a different number of platforms may not be enough for all patients to make a doctor's appointment. • There is a manual booking system, but it is completely online. • People do not fully trust the online system and cannot fully benefit from it. • Our technology gives patient-helping solutions in response to these problems. The system may be accessed at any time andfrom any location. • This is a really basic and easy to use system. Here are a few examples: Medical Help for the Injured • An enormous database of medical knowledge is available. • Everyone has the ability to donate blood if they're willing and able to do so. • A smart way to schedule appointments • Drug purchasing system • Find ambulances based on area • Find physicians based on their rating or location. • Cut down on re bookings • Prescriptions for future use Upload • Help doctors reduce costs • No booking assistant required • Easy access to the patient's medication history. • Acceptance can be recognized through patient evaluation. IV. METHODOLOGY AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY This paper makes use of the Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) methodology. Think of software applications as a system of classes, with physical environment quality as an example of a class inside a class. This is the fundamental principle. An object may represent anything from a common person to a specific place, activity, or interaction. An artefact is a patient, a doctor, and everything else that happens during a consultation with those three individuals. Expression analysis is a typical technique for examining a system in relation to its artefacts. Using expression analysis, an object class may be created to represent the knowledge hierarchy in terms of artefacts and expression principles. An important part of creating interactive products has been Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). When it comes to creating interactive user interfaces, User Centric Design www.irjmets.com @International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering, Technology and Science [3414] e-ISSN: 2582-5208 International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science ( Peer-Reviewed, Open Access, Fully Refereed International Journal ) Volume:04/Issue:07/July-2022 Impact Factor- 6.752 www.irjmets.com (UCD) is a go-to technique in the HCI industry. User- Centric Design (UCD) is a technique that helps designers better understand the needs and expectations of their target audience. Easy-to-use, easily remembered, effective, and efficient user interfaces are just a few of the various demands and expectations that may exist depending on the population segment being studied. For an interactive product, UCD demands a significant amount of work, time, and thought, since it incorporates users in the design process and solicits their opinion on everything from the feel of the interface to how easily and effectively it may be used. In the end, UCD delivers an interactive product that is useful, attractive, and successful. Because of this, UCD is renowned as an approach that facilitates the development of relevant, usable, and enjoyable healthcare technology. Studies have used the UCD method to build e-health interfaces. UCD was used in the creation of OOBS in this research [8]. This project's emphasis will be on the patients who will utilize the system to schedule an appointment online. A hospital appointment system will benefit from this project's implementation. For patients who choose to make an appointment for a hospital date through an internet system, the prototype may be utilized by the hospital to manage their appointments. Patients will save time and effort by not having to wait in line to schedule an appointment, while system administrators will be able to obtain information for reporting and manage appointments more easily. Patients' records must be maintained by the system administrator. The availability of a certain day should be communicated to patients. If they want to book a room in advance, they need to be able to do so. The receptionist will take on the job of administrator for the duration of this project. It is simple for the administrator to change, remove, and add patients' information, appointment schedules, and records of patients' bookings online [11]. Actions taken in the course of completing the project will be documented: Compilation of Information Streamlined medical consultation and assessment techniques were used to compile the data. Class diagram was used to represent the proposed system (Information Flow Diagram, Sequence Diagrams and Sign Posts).Object-oriented design is utilized for both development and construction. There are three sections to this system. Doctors Patients Receptionist(Admin) Doctors Doctors may sign up by providing the essential information, such as their name, credentials, specialties, and employment history. The doctor may log in using their username and password after successfully completing the registration process. If an appointment is available, the doctor may check the patients' requests and send a notice to them. After consulting with the patient, they have the ability to prescribe medications and review any input the patient has provided. This system allows doctors to update, change, or remove their availability information. Only the doctor can access his or her own appointment data; they are unable to see the appointment data of other doctors. In the doctor's office, he or she is able to access the patient' during a patient's visit, a doctor may leave a note. The doctor has access to the system. Patients Patients should be able to log in using their own credentials. If you're a first-time visitor, you may create an account by giving some basic information like your name, email address, and password. After logging in, users may access their dashboard (a summary of their information), physicians, and more. Booking an appointment with a doctor based on a patient's specific issue is possible. The admin will either accept or reject appointment requests based on their availability. After a visit with the doctor, they may also view the medicine that was recommended to them. On the website, patients may see the doctor's availability. This system allows patients to create an account. Patients may use this system by logging in. The patient may make an appointment and cancel it. An appointment PDF may also be downloaded by the patient. Patients may also make changes to their personal information. Admin Physicians and patients are connected via the administrative staff. In order to provide a seamless appointment procedure, it is responsible for managing physicians and patients. After a thorough review, the admin may also www.irjmets.com @International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering, Technology and Science [3415] e-ISSN: 2582-5208 International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science ( Peer-Reviewed, Open Access, Fully Refereed International Journal ) Volume:04/Issue:07/July-2022 Impact Factor- 6.752 www.irjmets.com add new physicians to the database. All appointments have been scheduled in the admin area. Which doctor may be seen by which patient? Appointment requests might be approved or declined by the receptionist depending on the availability of a doctor. Administrators have access to all patient data as well as the ability to add, edit, delete, and examine doctor data. Admins have complete control over the scheduling and management of all Doctor Availability data. You may access all doctor appointment data, as well as process appointments, from the administrator's dashboard Admins have the ability to make changes to a user's profile. This system's administrator has access. Admins have access to Analytics data. User interface Users may log in and schedule an appointment thanks to our user-friendly UI. Appointment requests may be approved or rejected by the admin, who can then review and arrange appointments with the appropriate doctors. You'll also find a list of the world's best physicians, organized by specialty. V. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE This gives you an overview of the new system, the key components of the system, the services they provide, and how they communicate. The system is implemented using a three-tier architecture consisting of interfaces, process management, and DBMS, as shown below.

RESULTS AND ANALYSIS Using the log records of the online appointment system, the adoption rate of the system was determined. From 3.20 percent to 3.70 percent, and finally 4.40 percent, it rose progressively over the course of four, five, and six months. In the four, five, and six months after the online appointment system was launched, 10, 11, or 13 patients scheduled appointments to visit their GPs using the online appointment system, accordingly. According to the notion of diffusion of innovation, there are five stages in the adoption process: innovators, early adopters, early majorities, late majorities, and laggards. According to Rogers 3 percent of the population were innovators. During the three months of the study period, the total adoption rate of the online appointment system rose from 3.2% to 4.4%. There seems to be a distinct group of patients who have embraced the IT innovation of online appointment scheduling: those who are more technologically savvy. The 15 percent of patients who utilized the Internet to visit the medical center's website were the innovators. Internet-based healthcare delivery may still be out of reach for most Australians, based on this study's findings in rural Australia. There was also a strong desire to employ web-based self-service apps by 61% of the patient population. Personal Controlled Electronic Health Record System (PCEHR) is an Australian government program that will be supported by this data [15].
Figure 1: Adoption Rate of online appointment
Analysis: Using Python, it was possible to examine healthcare data. Python notebooks (Jupiter Notebooks) have been utilized to do exploratory data analysis (EDA) on the dataset in this case. Patients' IDs, scheduled appointments, and gender are all included in the dataset used to investigate and comprehend different health conditions including hypertension, diabetes, and alcoholism. – E.g. A patient's etiquette: How many individuals have really turned up for appointments? Has there been any more in-depth investigation? Healthcare research employs a wide range of methods. The scheduling of appointments is one of the most important aspects. In this part, a variety of approaches are compared side by side to see which one is the most effective, taking into account each approach's merits. With or without an appointment, online admissions are the sole way to begin the process. The primary objective is to reduce the time it takes for patients to get an appointment by allocating a portion of the resources for online scheduling on the same day or within a few days.

VII. CONCLUSION This is a web-based system for managing and arranging appointments in accordance with the preferences and requirements of users. Based on their medical requirements, customers may look at physicians' information as well as customer reviews to learn more. Users may then pick their chosen day and time from a list of available booking slots, which this project provides. As a result, not only do consumers save time, but the appointment scheduling process as a whole becomes more efficient. This software allows the doctor to keep track of his personal schedule. A hospital's registration and appointment procedure can be readily managed and monitored, and the movement of patients to physicians can be simply tracked. The administrator is in charge of both the physicians and the patients, ensuring a smooth experience for everyone. As a modern-day convenience, this helps alleviate exhaustion and irritation. India is seeing a rise in the use of health applications that allow users to chat with a doctor. Apps that help people stay healthy should be encouraged by the government. www.irjmets.com @International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering, Technology and Science [3418] e-ISSN: 2582-5208 International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science ( Peer-Reviewed, Open Access, Fully Refereed International Journal ) Volume:04/Issue:07/July-2022 Impact Factor- 6.752 www.irjmets.com VIII.
