A Gannt chart was developed to define the deliverables needed to complete the program and the class.

The main features of the program were broken into the following methods: patient, read, clean, search, repeatRemover, and printFormat.

The entry box allows for a patients ID number to be entered, here the program will retrieve the patient's file from a database, lower the cases, remove special characters, extract symptoms listed in the record, remove repeats, and add them to an array.

SIRS is a diagnostic tool that assigns points to vital signs, after they are entered into the boxes the score is calculated and saved to an integer variable.

SOFA is a diagnostic tool that assigns points to vital signs, after they are entered into the boxes the score is calculated and saved to an integer variable.

The final print out screen provides the provider with a wholistic and organized view of the information available. This allows the provider to make an informed decision and treat their patient accordingly.

In a patient's medical record, a medical provider would leave notes such as "return to hospital if you develop a fever".

The search method would pick up these 'symptoms' and add them to the list of symptoms the patient did not have.

To prevent this from happening, the search method excludes any symptoms following the most common phrases, such as: denies, no, etc.
