A desktop hospital management application built with C++ and Qt, developed as a university project at the Egyptian Chinese University (ECU). The system covers patient registration, appointment scheduling, medical records, financial billing, and doctor/clinic management — all through a clean, modern GUI.
When you open the app, you land on a dashboard that gives you the key numbers at a glance — total patients, today's appointments, doctors on duty, and revenue. From there you navigate between five main sections:
Dashboard — Real-time summary of all hospital activity. Quick shortcut buttons let you jump straight to booking an appointment or creating a bill without hunting through menus.
Appointments — Book appointments for patients by picking a doctor and time slot. The system automatically checks for scheduling conflicts so no doctor ever gets double-booked. Shows a live view of the selected doctor's schedule for today alongside a full appointment history list.
Patients — Complete patient records with full medical history timelines. Add new patients, attach medical records per visit, search by name or ID, and edit details when needed.
Financial — Billing screen with fixed clinic pricing (ENT: 500 EGP, Dermatology: 600 EGP, Cardiology: 1,000 EGP). Automatically applies insurance discounts (AXA 80%, MetLife 70%, Allianz 90%) and processes card payments. Keeps a persistent log of every bill with totals for patient payments, insurance coverage, and net hospital revenue.
Doctors Schedule — Weekly calendar view of doctor assignments per clinic. Doctors can be added or removed from the schedule directly from this screen.
The system supports three roles:
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access to all modules including doctor management and system configuration |
| Receptionist | Patient registration, appointment booking, billing and checkout |
| Doctor | View-only access to patient records and their own appointment list |
- Language: C++ (C++17)
- GUI Framework: Qt 6 (Widgets)
- Build system: qmake (.pro file)
- Data storage: Plain structured text files (
doctors.txt,patient.txt,mr.txt,financial_records.txt) - IDE: Qt Creator
No external databases or third-party libraries beyond Qt. All data structures were implemented from scratch — dynamic arrays for doctors and clinics, manual linked structures for patient medical records.

The app looks for doctors.txt, patient.txt, and mr.txt in the same directory as the executable. If they're not found, sample data loads automatically so you can explore the interface right away.
Data file formats:
doctors.txt — ID,Name,Specialization
1001,Dr. Samy Abdullah,ENT
1007,Dr. Sherif Mahmoud,Cardiology
patient.txt — ID,Name,Age,InsuranceProvider
P-101,Basma Mohamed,20,AXA
P-102,Adam Ghobashy,19,None
mr.txt — RecordID,PatientID,Date,Clinic,Diagnosis,DoctorID
MR-001,P-101,2026-04-09,ENT,Ear Infection,1001
Operating environment:
- Windows 10/11 (primary) or Linux Ubuntu 20.04+
- GCC 9+ or MSVC 2019+ with C++17 support
- Minimum 512 MB RAM, 1024×768 display
| Module | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Patient Management | Register patients with manual ID assignment, partial-name search, full visit history |
| Doctor Management | Weekly schedule assignment, filter by specialization, add/remove doctors |
| Appointments | Conflict-free booking via queue, status tracking (Scheduled / Completed / Cancelled) |
| Medical Records | Per-visit records linked to doctor and clinic, reverse-chronological history view |
| Billing | Fixed clinic pricing + insurance discount calculation, card payment processing, bill log |
| Dashboard | Live KPI cards, today's appointments table, quick-action shortcuts |

The UI was prototyped in Figma before implementation:
View Figma Design
- Data saves to text files on write operations (new patient, new bill, etc.). There is no full save-on-exit yet — something we would add with more time.
- The appointment system prevents a doctor from being double-booked at the same time slot, but does not restrict the same patient from appearing with multiple doctors simultaneously.
- Card details are cleared from memory immediately after a transaction processes — nothing is stored to disk.
- The system is single-user per session. Concurrent multi-user access is not supported in v1.0.
