Abstract
This research proposes, designs, and implements a new online system for electronic medical records (EMR) for assisting the current processes of labs and hospitals. Specific consideration is given to the records of blood donors. It provides an online automated alternate to the traditional manual processes adopted for various medical labs. The proposed system provides an easy way to communicate with the world. The article presents use case diagrams that model the logics of the system. It also proposes schema for supporting databases in the system. The system is prototyped, and ready to be used. To achieve the targeted system, in addition to investigating the latest studies in this area, the needed data was collected through a questionnaire survey with the community. The system, as a special case, has been oriented for the communities of the state of Kuwait to improve its healthcare sector. However, this design can be easily ported to other countries platforms due to its generic formulation.
