Patient Fees

1. This program should be designed and written by a team of students. Here are some suggestions:

– One or more students may work on a single class.

– The requirements of the program should be analyzed so each student is given about the same workload.

– The parameters and return types of each function and class member function should be decided in advance.

– The program will be best implemented as a multi-file program.

2. You are to write a program that computes a patient’s bill for a hospital stay. The different components of the program are

The class

The Surgery class

The Pharmacy class

The main program

– The class will keep a total of the patient’s charges. It will also keep track of the number of days spent in the hospital. The group must decide on the hospital’s daily rate.

– The Surgery class will have stored within it the charges for at least five types of surgery. It can update the charges variable of the class.

– The Pharmacy class will have stored within it the price of at least five types of medication. It can update the charges variable of the class.

– The student who designs the main program will design a menu that allows the user to enter a type of surgery and a type of medication, and check the patient out of the hospital. When the patient checks out, the total charges should be displayed.
