1. INTRODUCTION “ Health is metabolic efficiency, sickness is metabolic deficiency” Considering this statement, the researcher can say that health is important. Catastrophes like accident is inevitable in our daily living, Emergency sickness like headache, stomachache and toothache may attack us anytime and anywhere. Thus, in every establishment, there should be a place for our health. One place that we can rely on is the so called “ Clinic” that provides primary aid and care that will eliminate or at least lessen up our difficulties when in pain.

But, what if one day you’re not feeling well and decided to go to the clinic, but before they assist you, They ask you to fill up a form with your name, age, sex, location, religion and so on. Maybe you will just be stressed about it or end up with a headache. Though we are in the modern era, where Information Technology made an impact in our industry, wherein computers are a great help for every establishments with different operations and transactions, we can say that other firms and establishments aren’t updated about the Evolution of technology.

To analyze the situation, there are clinic that still stick to use manual operations or the paper based system for their medical transactions. In this case, the researchers will propose a system that will eliminate paper works, improve the service, and will provide an efficient approach for both the user and the patient. The proposed study is about the development of Sales and Billing System of Beautiful Smile Dental Clinic. The study is only limited for billing only. The proposed system has the capability to track the number of patient a day, monitor their bills.

A search index is also added for the users to track the patient’s information. Login account for different users will be created for database; if you are not registered in the database you can’t enter the entire system. 1. 1 Background of the Problem During the last few decades there has been a significant problem in dental clinic, from focusing upon facts towards a focus on solving the problem and a deeper understanding of making the appropriate solution. Billing system have not been developed correspondingly, which make the dental clinic uses the manual system up until now.

As the proponent conduct the study, the proponent observe that using manual system in billing the patient takes time and effort so the proponent decided to create a computerized system for their convenience. Based on the “ Beautiful Smile Dental Clinic” that the proponent interviewed “ Beautiful Smile Dental Clinic” is one of the dental clinics using manual system. Beautiful Smile Dental Clinic will be the first clinic here in Ormoc that uses a modern billing system that make their services improve unlike their competitors that still uses a manual billing system. It can also make the business grow and progress.

By the use of the system that the proponent created, it tackles about the billing system of the “ Beautiful Smile Dental Clinic” that gives more convenience for their clinic not like the manual; it takes more time and effort. 2. Overview of the Current State of Technology Technology now a day has come to a state that most of the population living in this world uses it. Especially, in the business world, as we all know for a fact modern technology is very appropriate for a business because it can make our work easier and faster especially if you are attached in a large business or in a company.

If we mention technology, the first thing that comes into our mind is computer and internet were you can use a search engine such as Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing and you can surf some of the most popular social networking sites such as facebook, twitter and Skype. Everyone can use it, even the younger ones knows how to use computer. Technology also has an advantage in our daily living. But we should also bear in our mind that not all modern technology that we are using is good it also have its disadvantages so use it carefully and use it for the better. . 3 Project Rationale • Dentist The dentist will be the first beneficiary of the proposed system. Only the dentist and the employees can log-in the proposed system. It is also for the security and safety of the system and their business. • Employee The employees are the second beneficiary of the proposed system. If there would be instances that the dentist will not be in the clinic and there would be a customer inquiring for the cost of their services, the employee can enter the system and give some information to the customer’s inquiry. Patient The proposed system will make services better and faster for the customer in terms of billing for their total payment.
