CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0
Introduction
This chapter presents the introduction
to a mortuary billing system. It presents the theoretical background, statement
of the problem, aim and objectives of the study, significance of the study,
scope of the study, organization of the research and definition of terms.
1.1
Theoretical Background
The technologies applied for the
development of the system are Visual BASIC 6.0 and Microsoft Access 2003
database. Visual BASIC provides tools to create a graphical user interface for
data capture and it can be linked to the database to save the captured
information. The programming language also aids in the accurate computation of
the total amount to be paid. For instance, the source code and rendering below
shows how an error message is displayed when the total bill is not successfully
computed due to wrong inputs by the user.
Private Sub Command4_Click()
On Error GoTo bc
Text14.Text = (CDbl(Text6.Text) +
CDbl(Text7.Text) + CDbl(Text8.Text) + CDbl(Text9.Text) + _
CDbl(Text11.Text) + CDbl(Text12.Text))
* (CDbl(Text13.Text))
Exit Sub
bc:
MsgBox “Error, Check Inputs”
End Sub

1.2
Statement of the Problem
The following problems were identified
in the existing system at the case study:
- Inability
to accurately calculate bill for mortuary service
- Errors
in computation of mortuary bills.
- Difficulties
in obtaining mortuary bills report.
1.3 Aim and
Objectives of the Study
The aim of the study is to develop a
mortuary billing system. The following are the specific objectives to realize
the needed aim:
- To
design a system that can be utilized to accurately bill for mortuary
services.
- To
design a database system that can be used to store mortuary billing
records.
- To
design a system that can be used to obtain mortuary bill reports.
1.4
Significance of the Study
The study is significant in the
following ways:
- It
will provide the mortuary division of General Hospital Ikot Ekpene with an
effective system to accurately compute and record mortuary bills.
- It
will aid easy management of mortuary billing information.
- It
will serve as a reference material for future research.
1.5 Scope of
the Study
This study covers Mortuaries billing system:
its design and implementation using General hospital, Ikot Ekpene as a case
study.
1.6
Organization of the Research
This research work is organized into
five chapters. Chapter one is concerned with the introduction of the research
study and it presents the preliminaries, theoretical background, statement of
the problem, aim and objectives of the study, significance of the study, scope
of the study, organization of the research and definition of terms.
Chapter two focuses on the literature
review, the contributions of other scholars on the subject matter is discussed.
Chapter three is concerned with the
system analysis and design. It presents the research methodology used in the
development of the system, it analyzes the present system to identify the problems
and provides information on the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed
system. The system design is also presented in this chapter.
Chapter four presents the system
implementation and documentation, the choice of programming language, analysis
of modules, choice of programming language and system requirements for
implementation.
Chapter five focuses on the summary,
constraints of the study, conclusion and recommendations are provided in this
chapter based on the study carried out.
1.7 Definition
