A system for handling medical appointments working in epidemic hazard circumstances

Summary

The IT system supporting the work of medical personnel is an invaluable tool increasing the organization of the medical facility and thus improving the quality of services provided to patients. The epidemic risk situation and the related restrictions aimed at maintaining a social distance make it necessary to introduce into the IT systems functions allowing to control the number of patients in the premises of medical units and carry out remote visits. As part of the work, the system for handling medical visits was designed and implemented, extended with the function of controlling overcrowding in the waiting room. The system design was made with the use of UML diagrams and implemented with the use of Django programming platform based on Python programming language. As a result of the works, a web application was created, which allows for arranging and conducting contact visits and the so called "e-visits" in a way that does not lead to overfilling of the waiting room by patients. An analytical laboratory was designed, where laboratory tests can be carried out. In accordance with the adopted methodology, unit and integration tests of the system were also developed.
