• Medical Records: Maintain detailed medical records including medicines prescribed
• Billing System: Process payments with multiple payment methods and track balances
• Discharge Management: Handle patient discharge based on payment status
• Patient Records: Access comprehensive patient history and visit information

Technologies Used

• Java
• Java Swing for GUI
• MySQL Database
• JDBC for database connectivity

System Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher
• MySQL Server 5.7 or higher
• MySQL Connector/J (JDBC Driver)

Database Setup

1. Create a MySQL database named patient_management_java
2. Update the database connection details in com.db.DBConnect class:
