Figure V showed the activity diagram of the user authentication and verification into the pediatrics system. Experiments/Implementation: C#.Net programming language was used to develop and implement the system. The software was implemented using C# because it readily supports features such as Active Server Page.NET (ASP.NET), ActiveX Data Object.NET (ADO.NET) and Visual Studio 2010 that facilitates the development of wed based applications. These features were needed to implement the software that will meet the necessary requirements. Microsoft SQL Server management 2008 was the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) used since it is a robust RDBMS that could manage the large amount of data usually generated in a hospital and could integrate with the development platform. It also has tools that facilitate the design and implementation of databases. It is responsible for storing, retrieving and manipulating the data in the database or other repositories. The home page of the developed pediatrics information system was shown in figure VI. This page provides an overview about the system. Figure VII showed the doctor’s login page. This page provides a secured environment for authorized doctors to login into the system. Such authorized doctors are required to provide a valid username and password assigned to them by the system administrator. This enables such a doctor to view and approve appointments scheduled by the patients.
