ABSTRACT

In the world over, it is indisputable that the introduction of computer technology in different facets of life has virtually transformed and enhanced information processing, retrieval and storage, which is or are very vital in any organization or parastatals of government. Not only proved to the faceted means of information retrieval, which forms the nucleus of this study. This research work centers on using a computer to record, store and retrieve reported illnesses, the name of illness and year it spread, the country affected, total population of children affected and total population not affected. A detailed design of a computerized approach that will bring the much needed is given. Also included in this masterpiece is is a proper documentation for the new system design. To rephrase, this topic the design and implementation of a postnatal care information system, centers on the care after delivery of a child, the abuses on the children, UNICEF and the application of computer to speed up their active performance.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

Chapter one: This chapter introduces the topic of this project what is all about and what is to be achieved. It points out the statement of the problem, aims and objectives, purpose of the study, scope / delimitation, limitation / constraints, assumptions of study and definition of terms.

Chapter two: This chapter reviews the relevant literature on what people have been written or said about the topic.

Chapter three: This chapter aimed at describing and analyzing of the existing system fact finding method / methodology, organization structure/ organogram, objectives of the existing system, input process, and output analyses, input analysis, process analysis, output analysis, information flow diagram, problems of the existing system, justification.

Chapter four: Design of the new system, design standard, output specification and design, input specification and design, file design, procedure chart, system flowchart, system requirements, software requirements, operational requirements, personnel requirements.

Chapter five: Implementation , design standard, program design, program flowchart, pseuodocode, coding, test data / test run, user training – an overview, cutover process.

Chapter six: Documentation of the project, program documentation, user documentation.

Chapter seven: It is where the recommendations, summary and conclusions were made.
