Appointments App - End-User Views & Templates Implementation

Project: Hospital Management System v4
Module: Appointments App
Date Started: 2025-01-08
Status: 🔄 In Progress

Executive Summary

This document tracks the implementation of missing end-user views and templates for the appointments app. The focus is on creating patient-facing and provider-facing interfaces to complement the existing administrative functionality.

Key Requirements

  1. Patient Self-Service: Request-only model (no direct booking)
  2. Provider Workflow: Daily schedule and quick check-in interfaces
  3. Mobile API: Separate mobile app will use API endpoints
  4. Queue Display: Consolidate duplicate queue display templates
  5. Telemedicine: Deferred to last priority (full integration)

Implementation Phases

Phase 1: Patient-Facing Views (Request-Only Model)

Priority: 🔴 HIGH
Status: ✅ COMPLETED (Phase 1C Skipped by Design)

1.1 Patient Appointment Request System

  • View: PatientAppointmentRequestView

    • Allow patients to request appointments
    • Show available appointment types
    • Collect preferred dates/times
    • Validate insurance if needed
    • Create appointment request with PENDING status

  • Template: patient_appointment_request.html

    • Form with appointment type selection
    • Provider preference (optional)

    • Filters: upcoming, past, cancelled
    • Status indicators
    • Quick actions (view details, cancel)

  • Template: patient_appointment_list.html

    • Card-based layout for appointments
    • Status badges (pending, confirmed, completed)
    • Quick action buttons
    • Responsive design

  • View: PatientAppointmentDetailView

1.3 Patient Waiting List Interface

Status: ❌ SKIPPED - Not needed for patient-facing functionality

Decision Rationale:

  • Waiting list is primarily an administrative tool (staff-initiated workflow)
  • Patients already have appointment request functionality (Phase 1A)
  • Queue status already available for real-time waiting (Phase 1B)
  • Staff contacts patients when slots become available
  • Avoids duplicate/confusing functionality for end users

Alternative Approach:

  • Patients request appointments → Status: PENDING
  • Staff manages waiting list administratively
  • Staff contacts patients when slots available
  • Patients can view their pending requests in Phase 1A views
