Description 👈
It's a web application for managing hospitals rooms and determining the patient's priority for isolation. The app provides a centralised hub for managing the patients and planning their distribution across hospital’s rooms.
It allows nurses to keep track of the patients and their diseases in real time and to have an overview over the patients and rooms, and better manage the rooms assignment across patients.

Database
Databse Schema
The available application is connected to a MongoDB database online. If you want to change the database to another one, you need to go: NHS app folder -> server -> db -> mongoose.js
Inside the file, you need to change the database link from mongoose.connect("mongodb://admin:[email protected]:45220/nhs-app"); to mongoose.connect("your-database-link");
REST Apis
The backend and frontend communicate through REST Apis. On the frontend, we make Ajax requests using jQuery to the following routes:
| URI | Returns |
|---|---|
| /app/getdiseases | returns information about all diseases in the system |
| /app/getpatients | returns information about all patients in the system |
| /app/getpatient/:hospitalNumber | returns information about a specific patient |
| /app/getrooms | returns information about the rooms in the system |
Known bugs 🐛
- On some mobiles devices (iPhone, iPad) assigning rooms to patients is not working because mobile browsers doesn’t interpret the double-click. Also, the user can’t enter the patient's page because of the same reason. However, on LG mobile devices this feature works.
