    Health institutions like clinics and hospitals can improve in their efficiency through implementation ofan information system where tedious paper work can be avoided and vital information regarding patients can be retrieved immediately between different clinics. Malaysian Clinics are yet to fully discover the advantages of implementing information systems in helping and supporting the business process and daily operations. Therefore, this project aims at conducting research on common business processes among UTP panel clinics, to develop a web-based clinical information sharing system for UTP panels and to conduct research on distributed system issues &development for the system. This helps towards early and fast diagnosis and gives possible treatment plans for patients and a networking between clinics. There are, however, a few problems or drawbacks. As business processes are done manually by clinics which increase the tendency for errors, lack ofdata sharing between clinics regarding the same patient has hindered the research as there is no reference of medical records from previous clinics or hospitals regarding patients when they seek medical treatment in a different clinic. Various techniques were involved in requirement gathering namely research, interview, observation and questionnaire. The Prototyping model approach which consists of building an experimental system rapidly was used for the systems development. The implementation of Web Based Clinical System for UTP panels can ensure reduced tendencies for errors, save time and space for recording & storing when dealing with patient's information and medical records and at the same time increases the patients' convenience
