This research proposes, designs, and implements a new online system for electronic medical records (EMR) for assisting the current processes of labs and hospitals. Specific consideration is given to the records of blood donors. It provides an online automated alternate to the traditional manual processes adopted for various medical labs. The proposed system provides an easy way to communicate with the world. The article presents use case diagrams that model the logics of the system. It also proposes schema for supporting databases in the system. The system is prototyped, and ready to be used. To achieve the targeted system, in addition to investigating the latest studies in this area, the needed data was collected through a questionnaire survey with the community. The system, as a special case, has been oriented for the communities of the state of Kuwait to improve its healthcare sector. However, this design can be easily ported to other countries platforms due to its generic formulation.
Today, adults are use social media to seek health information. Evidence suggests that hospitals using Instagram reported better patient engagement and in turn increased profit and reputation. Yet, little is known about how public and private hospitals are leveraging Instagram. This study aims to analyze the presence of hospitals on Instagram using Kuwait as a case study. Hospitals were identified using the Ministry of Health’s website and Instagram. Posts collected from 7 odd months were analyzed using the Constant Comparison method. A total of 3,439 posts were distributed across six categories: Health advice & education, operations & services, current events, hospital community, seasonal occasions, and trivia. Public and private hospitals differed in their activity on Instagram in terms of health topics covered, post categories, and interactions. Hospitals should improve their presence on Instagram to promote healthy lifestyles, augment public health campaigns, and be a source of reliable and accessible health information online.
