INTRODUCTION
The clinics have experienced problems in collecting and managing health care Medical data due to informal structures and lack of formal ways of storing their patient and staff details for their clinics. This research project will help on the development of computerized system at Muledane Clinic. The use of Clinic Management System technology can be deployed for not only bringing down health care costs but also facilitates automating and streamlining patient identification processes in clinic. The research project will produce a real-time system for the clinics.
Records Management Systems have become one of the most vital strategies in any organizational environments that help employee to store and process their data. [1] A system is defined as multiple parts working together for a common purpose or goal. Systems have inputs, processes, and outputs.

This computerized system will helps
