COEM: Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine,
is a medical center established in 1978, and has an envious
record for treating patients with care.
The Center for Occupational & Environmental Medicine
specializes in treating patients with environmentally triggered
health problems, as well as chemical injuries. A comprehensive
program is developed for the management of these environmentally
triggered diseases, including common airborne sensitivities
to pollens, dust, molds, and animal dangers -- as well as
occupational and non-occupational environmental injuries
and diseases.
Why was the product developed?
COEM: Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine,
is a medical center established in 1978, and has an envious
record for treating patients with care.
- COEM needed a unique web-presence to showcase itself
and be able to communicate with patients and sell its
products online.
- COEM required its existing patients and potential patients
to know about the different Environmental medicine and
other services provided by COEM. It needed to maintain
a point of contact with the staff at COEM and the staff
is able to manage a patient as per the requirements and
needs of a Patient.
- COEM required that most of their content be managed
by an administering module by its own staff and have it
periodically updated with more and more information to
be delivered to its patients.
- COEM required an effective management system to manage
its Patients and be able to assist them as and when required.
- Effective Time Management system was needed to help
Physicians to maintain appointments and follow up on a
day to day basis.
- Staff Management, Payroll, Inventory Control and Reports
were to be maintained and designed for information purpose.
What is the product?
After analyzing and studying the business process and the
requirements of COEM, we developed the project having the
different modules and solving majority of its issues:
COEM web site has been designed and developed into two components:
- Online Web site with a user friendly interface having
an Administration module.
*Developed a user friendly website for COEM, showcasing
all its products, staff, educational materials and providing
updates on a daily basis.
*As, per the requirement a Patient Profile Management
module was developed where by the staff could track an
existing and a new registered patient on the site as well
as off the site.
*Online Payment gateway and Orders Processing module to
allow registered patients to purchase books and other
laboratory materials
*Users could browse information on the site as per their
convenience and their access rights provided as per their

to be reflected on the site.
*An Administration module where in the Web Administrator
could decide what’s appearing on relevant pages,

called “Medical Wizard was developed for effective
Patient Management and Staff Management for Administrators
at the Center.

appointments with patients and maintain a collaborated
record of all the discussions and appointments between
the physician and the patients, the staff and the patients,
the staff and management group.
