Patient-Record-Management

🏥 Hospital Record Management System in C

This project is a simple command-line based Hospital Record Management System developed in C. It allows users to manage patient records and assign doctors based on symptoms, using file handling and basic struct-based data management.

📂 Features

• Add a new patient with ID, name, age, symptoms, and appointment date
• View patient history by ID or name
• Assign doctors based on patient symptoms (doctor.txt)
• Update patient records
• Delete patient records
• Uses persistent storage through patient.txt

🛠️ File Structure

• hospitalrecord.c – Contains the full implementation
• patient.txt – Stores all patient records (created automatically if not present)
• doctor.txt – Doctor database used for assigning based on symptoms

Sample doctor.txt format:

101:Dr. Sharma:General:Physician:1234567890:cough:1,2,3
102:Dr. Mehta:Cardiology:Cardiologist:9876543210:chest pain:4,5

🧾 Notes

Maximum 5 symptoms per patient

Doctor assignment is based on exact match of one symptom from doctor.txt

For unmatched symptoms, the default assigned doctor is General Physician

🧪 Final Notes

The code is logically sound and should work well when:

• doctor.txt exists and follows the expected format.
• You don’t enter invalid types (no error handling for string input in numeric fields).
