Ghana, a middle-income nation, has taken difficult efforts to enhance the quality of healthcare provided there. Among these, the launch of the NHIS is noteworthy. In areas where it is especially challenging for regular Ghanaians to obtain appropriate and timely medical attention, the NHIS system was implemented to improve access to and utilization of health care services. This has led to the introduction of NHIS billing system for health care facilities known as Claims. Claims processing has never been easy as it takes a lot of time and manual labor. This project proposes a system known as NHIS Smart Claims: A NHIS claims administration for health facilities in Ghana to help process NHIS Claims by gathering information from various department of the health care system rather than relying on the old manual system where information is filled in paper forms. The water fall model was employed in the development of this project and a prototype was then built which through the incorporation of user requirements evolved into the claims management system. The project team based on problem statement developed a system to register client and generate NHIS claims out from it.
Research Area
Web App Development: Web Development research in Computer Science and Information Technology focuses on the design, creation, and optimization of websites and web applications that are accessible over the internet or private networks. This research area spans a variety of topics, including front-end and back-end development, web frameworks, web performance, user experience (UX) design, security, and emerging web technologies.
Front-end development research explores the design and functionality of the user-facing side of web applications. This involves studying languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js, which help create dynamic, responsive, and interactive user interfaces. Researchers in this area often focus on improving the accessibility and usability of websites across different devices and browsers.
Back-end development focuses on the server side of web applications, where databases, server logic, and application functionality are managed. Research in this area includes database management, server configuration, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and the use of frameworks such as Node.js, Django, and Ruby on Rails. It also involves optimization of server-side processes to handle large-scale traffic, improve load times, and ensure seamless data processing.
Project Main Objective
The main aim of the project is to develop a system to accelerate the NHIS claim process.
