Abstract
During hospital peak times of outpatients, an effective mechanism that informs the newly receipted patient information to corresponding medical departments is lacking in current hospital reception systems. Since every department repeatedly searches entire patient reception database in sequential manner to acquire its reception information, this is a significant performance degradation factor in hospital information system. To improve hospital reception system efficiency, we developed two web socket based systems, a primary key transmitting batch system and a reception information transmitting real time system. The former reduced database access time compared to sequential search system as well as kept search time low regardless of receipted patient number. The latter effectively reduced waiting list updating time in request/response patient reception system by eliminating database access.
