Introduction
The healthcare sector is increasingly
dependent on efficient data management
systems. A Hospital Management System is a
software solution designed to manage and
streamline hospital operations like patient
information, staff records, appointments, and
medical records. This case study showcases a
simple implementation of such a system
using C++.

Objectives
- To build a basic Hospital Management System in
C++.
- To demonstrate the use of simple C++ constructs
such as loops, arrays, conditionals, and switch-
case.
- To allow basic functionalities like adding,
displaying, and modifying patient information.
Problem Statement
Manual handling of hospital records can be time-
consuming and error-prone. This project aims to
automate the basic functionalities of patient
management, thereby improving efficiency and
accuracy.

System Requirements
Software Requirements:
 C++ Compiler (e.g., GCC, Turbo C++)
 Text Editor or IDE (e.g., Code::Blocks, Dev C+
+)

Hardware Requirements:
 Minimum 1GB RAM
 Minimum 1 GHz Processor
 Keyboard and Monitor

Proposed Solution
The proposed solution is a C++ program that can
store, display, and manage patient information. It
is a console-based program and uses arrays to
store data in memory without using file handling.
The interface is menu-driven and uses only `cin`
and `cout` for I/O.

System Design
Algorithm:
1. Start the program.
2. Declare arrays to store ID, name, age, gender,
and disease.
3. Initialize a variable `patientCount` to 0.
4. Display a menu with the following options:
- Add Patient
- Show Patients
- Edit Patient
- Delete Patient
- Exit
5. Use `cin` to get user's choice.
6. Use a `switch` statement to handle each case:
 - Case 1 (Add Patient):
- Check if `patientCount` is less than maximum
allowed.
- Ask user to enter ID, Name, Age, Gender, and
Disease.
- Store the details in corresponding arrays.
- Increment `patientCount`.
- Case 2 (Show Patients):
- Loop through arrays up to `patientCount`.
- Display patient details.
- Case 3 (Edit Patient):
- Ask for patient ID to edit.
- Search for the ID in the array.
- If found, ask for new details and update
arrays.
- Case 4 (Delete Patient):
- Ask for patient ID to delete.
 - Search and remove the patient by shifting all
later entries up.
- Decrease `patientCount` by 1.
- Case 5 (Exit):
- Display exit message.
- Break loop and terminate program.
- Default: Display "Invalid choice".
7. Loop the menu until the user chooses Exit.
8. End the program.

Code Explanation
- The program uses arrays to store patient ID,
name, age, gender, and disease.
- `cin` and `cout` handle user input/output.
- A switch statement is used for menu navigation.
- New functions added: editPatient, deletePatient.

Conclusion
This project successfully demonstrates a simple hospital
management system using only basic C++ features. It
includes CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
operations for patient data, making it a foundational
system that could be extended further with databases
or GUI.

Recommendations
- Use file handling to store patient records permanently.
- Add more modules like doctor scheduling, billing, and
medicine inventory.
- Introduce GUI using frameworks like Qt or console UI
libraries.
