*1. Planning & Requirements Analysis
*
Define the project’s scope, core functionalities, and compliance standards (HIPAA, GDPR).
Consult with doctors, nurses, administrators, and IT specialists to understand real-world workflows.
Identify key features (record management, scheduling, prescriptions, billing) and user access roles.
Prepare technical and functional documentation, including data flow diagrams and workflow charts.
- System Design & Architecture
Architecture: Use a modular or microservices structure with secure API communication for scalability.
UI/UX Design: Create a simple, intuitive interface with role-based dashboards and clear, accessible layouts.
Database: Optimize for fast data retrieval, support multiple file types (images, test results), and maintain version history.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Ensure smooth performance across web, tablets, and mobile devices.
Security Compliance: Integrate encryption, authentication, audit logs, and auto-logout from the start.
- Development & Testing
Develop key modules: patient management, medical records, scheduling, billing, and access control.
Conduct comprehensive testing for:
Functionality: Verify all features work properly.
Security: Protect sensitive data from vulnerabilities.
Performance: Ensure smooth operation under heavy loads.
Usability: Validate user experience across roles.
Integration: Confirm compatibility with external systems.
Testing should start early and continue throughout development to catch issues promptly.
- Deployment & Maintenance
Pilot Deployment: Start with a small-scale implementation to collect feedback before full rollout.
User Training: Provide guides, videos, and workshops tailored to each role.
Monitoring & Technical Support: Track performance, uptime, and resolve issues quickly.
Regular Updates: Apply security patches, add new features, and stay compliant with evolving standards (e.g., HL7 FHIR).
Continuous Improvement: Gather ongoing feedback to enhance user experience and operational efficiency.
