Abstract
Intensive medical care focuses on children with severe illnesses, while pediatric care emphasizes growth and development, nutrition, disease prevention, and treatment of illnesses in children. Immunization, also known as vaccination or booster shots, is one of the most effective ways to protect a child's health. The general objective of this project is Transforming Pediatric Services with PatientPlus: A Web Application for Mabalacat Child Care Clinic, designed to modernize and enhance pediatric services in the Mabalacat Child Care Clinic. The Modified Waterfall Model was utilized as the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach in developing the web system, ensuring an iterative and organized flow of development activities. During alpha testing, the web-based application achieved an average score of 4.68, labeled as "Excellent," excelling in learnability, operability, and user engagement. Strong data protection and threat resistance were noted as key strengths, although improvements in non-repudiation were recommended. Beta testing resulted in an average score of 4.73, also rated as "Excellent," with functional appropriateness, compatibility, interaction capability, security, and flexibility meeting user expectations. These results highlight the system's potential to optimize pediatric services, support clinic operations effectively, and provide a user-friendly experience while identifying areas for further refinement to achieve optimal functionality.
