B. Project Context
Arellano Dental Clinic has been running for almost 10 years now. For the past 10 years they have acquired a lot of customers because of the devotion and best service they give to their customer. The clinic runs manually. Having so many patients is tough, yes, it gives income but managing it isn’t that easy. Their manual process includes writing the personal information of the patients on an index card. Personal information includes, name, date of birth, age, contact number, address and procedure done and will be done. The process is tough and not as organized as the owner says. There are some instances of lost cards and faded ink on the paper which makes it hard for them to read.
