We live in an era when manual systems are becoming obsolete and being replaced by e-platforms for enhanced efficiency and better productivity. In this paper, an attempt was made to develop an automated record management system for a typical health institution. The record systems of five hospitals in south-west Nigeria were used as case studies for evolving a robust and comprehensive design for the electronic database. Java programming language (NetBeans IDE 6.7.1) was used to develop the application while MySQL was used as the query language. The application offers numerous advantages over the traditional manual record-keeping system among which are data consistency, data integrity, ease of data retrieval, record integration and data mining.
