Abstract: Patient Registration System (PRS) is an important part of hospital environment. Therefore, semiformal model of Patient Registration System that registers the patients by assigning Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card or bracelet is presented in this paper. The existing Patient Registration Systems do not properly work due to ambiguities and semiformal modeling techniques. However, that is why we will propose formal modeling for PRS using Vienna Development Method (VDM-SL). Firstly, we develop the Unified Modeling Language (UML) based semiformal model of PRS because UML is used for better understanding of the system architecture. Formal methods are used to ensure accuracy and robustness of the system. Therefore, we transform the UML based model into formal model by writing formal specification of the system to improve accuracy and efficiency of PRS. In this way, development time, testing and maintenance cost in building RFID based PRS software is reduced to a great extent.
