Hospital Management System

Overview

The Hospital Management System is a C++ application that utilizes advanced Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles to efficiently manage hospital records. The system incorporates a class hierarchy to handle doctors, nurses, and patients, with features including dynamic memory management, sorting, searching, and a recommendation system for doctors based on specialization.

Features

• Object-Oriented Design: Uses a base class (HospitalMember) and derived classes (Doctor, Nurse, Patient) for structured representation of hospital members.
• Polymorphism: Allows for seamless handling of different member types through a common interface.
• Dynamic Memory Management: Manages hospital member objects with dynamic arrays and manual resizing.
• Sorting & Searching: Implements sorting algorithms (e.g., bubble sort) for members by name or age and provides search functionality by name or gender.
• Recommendation System: Suggests doctors based on their specialization and can be extended to recommend nurses based on their experience or shift.

Classes

• HospitalMember: Base class with attributes such as memberID, name, age, and gender. Includes a virtual method displayDetails() for displaying member details.
• Doctor: Derived class with additional attributes specialization and availability. Overrides displayDetails().
• Nurse: Derived class with attributes experienceYears and shift. Overrides displayDetails().
• Patient: Derived class with attributes disease and admissionDate. Overrides displayDetails().
• Hospital: Manages a dynamic array of HospitalMember pointers, with methods for adding, removing, and displaying members, and sorting them.
