INTRODUCTION
In this day and age where technological advancement has become a way of life, most of
the country's facilities and institutions still do not adapt advanced computer technology.
Especially since most medical facilities, clinics, private and public hospitals still use paper and
old technology for transactions. Most of the business sectors nowadays are using network
services and also offering Web online services in order to provide better service with fast and

Modern clinics today that use computers and other types of technology has proven that
using technology can greatly lessen workload, makes data management easier, and also allows
facilities to serve as many patients as possible. Also now that the number of patients continues
to grow and various medical issues continue to rise, it helps prove that the oldway of manually
managing patient records, prescription, and billing, can no longer be considered as efficient.

that will efficiently help the clinic in processing an online appointment. This will give dentist and
dental personnel of any possible dental clinic to serve and assist the ever increasing number of
patients served, also reducing possible waiting time for patients. We hope to create a fully

The project generally focus on how the Mojares Dental Clinic will improve their way of
scheduling an appointment. Therefore the clients will file an appointment via online and their
made appointment will notify the admin/dentist.. The clients will no longer need to drop by at
the clinic just to file an appointment. The system will also have an automated SMS that will
serve as a notification to both client and dental personnel. The client will first fill-up the
appointment form where they can choose their desired date, time and service. After that, the
system will send a message to the admin that someone booked them for their service. Once they
received the automated message, the dentist must first log-in on his account and it’s up to him
whether he’ll accept or decline the processed appointment. Lastly, after the dentist reviewed the
processed appointment, the system will send an automated message to the client if his/her
booking have been accepted or declined. In addition, the system will also have a log in and
logout feature so that they can keep their accounts secure. Once the user/client logged in his/her
account, he/she will have an access on the dashboard, my profile, create an appointment, about,
and notifications. When the admin/dentist logged in their accounts, they’ll be able to access the
dashboard, where they can monitor all of the appointments being made. Profile, the profile will
show all of the background information about the dentist. Calendar, the calendar can be updated
everytime so that the clients can keep track of the dentist’s schedule and whether the dentist is
available on a specific date. Notification, once the user processed an appointment, the dentist
will automatically receive a notification from the client. The delimitations of the project is that
the system cannot inform the client about their appointment via call. The system cannot reply to
