Health records are stored in a medical information system, which affects all parties engaged in the delivery, receipt and payment of healthcare. To better serve people living with HIV and other infectious diseases, the Louisiana Office of Public Health, the Louisiana State University Health Services Division, and Louisiana Public Health Institute worked together to expand the functionality of the LaPHIE system already in use. Object-oriented system was implemented. Web-based graphical user interface for HIV/AIDS patients is the study's primary goal; the graphical user interface will be linked to the medical database and the upgraded patient health record (PHR) management system will be implemented utilizing PHP, MySQL, JAVA Script, and HTML5. Patients' medical records, availability and efficiency in information processing as it applies to medical history, scheduling visits, updating medical results, and paying hospital bills and prescriptions are all examined in this research. During physical health assessments, patients and caregivers will particularly benefit from this research (PHEs). For treatment, 52% of patients expressed an interest, but just 11% expressed an interest in test findings. Treatment outcomes were 82% in the improve system, and lab results were obtained by 49% of patients. It is highly suggested that healthcare institutions use the improved patient health record (PHR) management system in order to establish an effective health record between caregivers and patients. In contrast to the enhanced patient health record (PHR) management system, which considers patient health record access efficiency, the LaPHIE system meets its intended purpose but is not patient friendly.
