The system can be accessed through the use of the internet and by downloading
the mobile app from the Google Play Store.
A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) estimates and sums the community benefits and
costs of a project to their corresponding monetary values to determine if they are
useful.
Perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine how good or bad your action plan is. A
cost-benefit analysis finds, quantifies, and totals all positive factors informative and
quantify them well. Benefits and costs are often expressed in monetary terms, and costs,
which tend to occur at different times, are expressed in "present value."

Ma’am:
Greetings!
We, the 3rd year BS Information Technology students of Don Honorio Ventura State University,
are conducting a research study in our Capstone Project titled “MedDoc: Android-Based
Medical Specialist Finder Application with Appointment Setting.” We are required to conduct
data gathering activities which will be the key for us to be able to understand the requirements
needed in developing our capstone project.
In line with this, we are asking for your approval to conduct the said undertaking in the Province
of Pampanga. The respondents of the study include any medical specialist and a user that can
become a potential patient located in Pampanga. We are asking for your permission to allow us
to gather data and conduct interviews about the organization profile, vision and mission
statements, goals and objectives, process workflow, and the problems or challenges the
institution has encountered throughout its operation. Rest assured that all information will be
treated with the utmost confidentiality.
We hope that this request will merit a favorable response and consideration. Thank you and more
power!
Respectfully yours,
