Client Overview
A mid-sized healthcare provider based in North America approached TechZilla Global to develop a secure, centralized dashboard to streamline patient record management across their network of clinics. The client aimed to reduce paperwork, improve data accessibility for physicians, and enhance overall patient care quality.
Challenge
The client was facing several issues with their legacy patient management systems:
- Fragmented patient records across multiple databases
- Manual entry errors and duplication
- Slow access to patient histories during consultations
- Lack of real-time updates across departments
- Poor communication between administrative and medical staff
- Inability to track allergies and medication interactions in a centralized view
These inefficiencies were not only impacting operational workflows but also delaying decision-making in critical patient care scenarios.
Project Goals
- Create a centralized healthcare dashboard for accessing, updating, and managing patient records
- Ensure compliance with HIPAA and other healthcare data regulations
- Enable real-time updates and access control based on user roles (e.g., doctors, nurses, admin)
- Improve patient care with instant visibility of allergies, medications, and medical history
- Integrate with third-party Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems
- Provide a responsive UI for desktops and tablets used in clinics
TechZilla’s Approach
1. Requirement Gathering & Analysis
TechZilla’s team conducted multiple stakeholder interviews including doctors, nurses, IT staff, and administrators. This helped identify core pain points and define user journeys for each type of user.
2. Tech Stack Selection
- Frontend: React.js with Material UI for fast, responsive, and accessible interface
- Backend: Node.js with Express.js for scalable REST APIs
- Database: PostgreSQL with role-based data access and encryption
- Authentication: OAuth 2.0 with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Deployment: AWS with HIPAA-compliant infrastructure setup
- Integration: HL7-based API integration with existing EHR systems
3. Design Phase
- Created low-fidelity wireframes for core modules (patient overview, search, record update, history timeline)
- Transitioned to high-fidelity prototypes using Figma, incorporating intuitive UI/UX aligned with clinical workflows
- Conducted usability testing with real users for feedback and adjustments
