Welcome to Python Beginner for Hospital Management, this will introduce you to how coding is used by staff in hospitals.
Python is being used in the healthcare sector for performing medical diagnostics, improving efficiency of hospital operations and predictive analytics.You can learn about how python-based applications are transforming the healthcare industry by visiting the link titled 'Python in Healthcare: AI Applications in Hospitals' within our resource section. The video What is Python? Why Python is So Popular? will give you an insight and overview of the popularity of Python and its use.
Many innovative leaps in health technology have been made in the centuries people have been practicing medicine, yet few have had as much widespread influence or impact as digital technology. Dramatic improvements in networking and computers have not only expanded options for medical treatments but have also transformed how clinicians perform their jobs. And it is possible that programmers of today could become the doctors of the future. Thanks to coding, doctors are finding new, innovative pathways to offer their patients a life better lived, a healthier lifestyle, and technologies that can assist them in a number of different ways.the link to 'Coding and Medicine: Why doctors should learn how to code' will give you an insight how the future of medicine could possibly look like withthe help of technology.
Task

In this example we will code a project, which replicates a simple Hospital Management System, used by Doctors and Nurses.
This project will help you develop an understanding how coding is used in Hospitals.
As part of the activity participants will design a software in which the nurse/hospital staff will be able to;
admit a patient,
see the occupied and vacant bed lists,
add expenses, show all expenses,
generate a bill for the patient,
discharge the patient
At beginners level you will be learning how to create software using Python for the two processes highlighted in bold.
Process
In order to complete this task, you are required to watch the video in the resources section and also follow the instructions in the document titled 'python Hospital Management - beginner' in the resources section. The instructions start from slide 4.

Remember that Python is a favorite programming language used in lots of majors. One of the fields that enjoy the most benefit from Python is healthcare. With the adoption of Python, healthcare marked a great progress like healthcare apps, hospital operation management, predictive prognosis, and many other applications. The article Python in healthcare in the links will share with you actual applications with examples, highlight the opportunity in the sector with developed level of programming skills. With the assistance of Python, the health industry gains more achievements, which affect not only doctors, hospitals but also the citizens. Patients can be treated remotely.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you have begun your Python journey for healthcare.
You have designed a software that enable staff to admit a patient and see bed occupany/vancies, and are now ready to move onto the intermediate level.
At this level participants will learn more than just a technical skill, they will also further develop a wide range of soft skills that they had learned from Scratch coding include communication, empathy, creativity and logic skills.

There are many companies are interested in hospital and medical digital transformation — using digital technologies to create or modify business processes, culture, and customer experiences — to grow and stay ahead of the competition, and hospitals are no exception.For example, with technology, it’s become possible to deliver precision medicine, where therapies and interventions are tailored to each patient based on the individual’s genetic profile. And algorithms are increasingly being used to improve the visual detection of signs of disease in fields such as radiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and pathology. for more insight please visit the link 'How Digital Transformation Can Improve Hospitals’ Operational Decisions'
