Picture going to the doctor's office and replacing the receptionist and paper forms with a kiosk similar to checking in for a flight.
There should be an account association flow where a doctor can authenticate using their drchrono account and set up the kiosk for their office.
After the doctor is logged in, a page should be displayed that lets patients check in. A patient with an appointment should first confirm their identity (first/last name maybe SSN) then be able to update their demographic information using the patient chart API endpoint. Once the they have filled out that information the app can set the appointment status to "Arrived" (Appointment API Docs).
The doctor should also have their own page they can leave open that displays today’s appointments, indicating which patients have checked in and how long they have been waiting. From this screen, the doctor can indicate they are seeing a patient, which stops the “time spent waiting” clock. The doctor should also see the overall average wait time for all patients they have ever seen.
Outside of these base requirements, you are free to develop any features you think make sense.
To begin, fork the drchrono API project repo at https://github.com/drchrono/api-example-django
We’ve built this repo to save you some set-up time! It contains a few baseline structural elements for you to build on. It’s a great starting point, but there are probably some tweaks and improvements to be made before you continue building out new functionality. It doesn't quite work; it's your job to make it work, and then make it awesome!
Use the drchrono API docs and feel free to reach out to the people operations team with any questions and we'll get back to you ASAP.
- docker
- a free drchrono.com account
The first thing to do is get an API token from drchrono.com, and connect this local application to it!
This project has social-auth preconfigured for you. The social_auth_drchrono/ contains a custom provider for
Python Social Auth that handles OAUTH through drchrono. It should
require only minimal configuration.
- Log in to drchrono.com
- Go to the API management page
- Make a new application
- Copy the
SOCIAL_AUTH_CLIENT_IDandSOCIAL_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRETto yourdocker/environmentfile. - Set your redirect URI to
http://localhost:8080/complete/drchrono/
Docker should take care of all the dependencies for you. It will create two containers: an application server and a
MySQL database server. See docker-compose.yml for details.
$ git clone [email protected]:drchrono/api-example-django.git hackathon
$ docker-compose up
Then connect with a browser to http://localhost:8080/setup and use the web to authorize the application.
If you have trouble at any point in the setup process, feel free to reach out to the developer who introduced you to the project. We try to minimize setup friction, but
