Healthcare Information System

Description

This Java Swing application, created for INFO 5100 – Application Engineering Development (Fall 2023), is crafted to introduce students to the foundational concepts of Java classes, object-oriented programming, the Swing framework, and event handling. It showcases the transfer of data between Java Swing forms and objects, focusing on a healthcare information management context.

Features

• Create Person: Implements a GUI to input personal details into a Person object with attributes such as name, SSN, website URL, email, picture, and more.
• Create Address: Facilitates the input of location details into an Address object, including GPS coordinates, city, state, and country.
• Create Driver: Captures driver's license information and stores it in a Driver object.
• Create Vehicle Registration: Records vehicle details like model and serial number into a Vehicle Registration object.
• Create Patient: Allows for the entry of patient information including patient ID, primary doctor, visit dates, allergies, medication status, and insurance coverage into a Patient object.
• Create Doctor: Saves a doctor's professional information in a Doctor object, detailing name, office address, doctor ID, specialty, and more.
• Create Insurance Coverage: Gathers insurance details and records them in an Insurance object, including corporate ID, address, premium, deductible, and a statement of benefits.
• Display Patient Report: Generates a detailed report displaying all the attributes entered, formatted for clarity and ease of understanding.
