🔗 Integration Points

How Inpatients Connects to Operating Theatre:

1. Admission → SurgicalCase

   # In operating_theatre/models.py - SurgicalCase
   admission = models.ForeignKey(
       'inpatients.Admission',
       on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
       null=True,
       blank=True,
       related_name='surgical_cases'
   )
   

2. Usage Example:

   # Get all surgeries for an admission
   admission = Admission.objects.get(pk=1)
   surgeries = admission.surgical_cases.all()
   
   # Check if surgery needs insurance approval
   for surgery in surgeries:
       if surgery.requires_approval():
           # Create approval request
           pass
   

3. Operating Room Access:

   # Get all cases in an OR
   or_room = OperatingRoom.objects.get(room_number='OR-1')
   today_cases = or_room.surgical_cases.filter(
       scheduled_start__date=timezone.now().date()
   )

🎯 Next Steps (Recommended)

Phase 1: Enhance Operating Theatre (Priority)

1. Add Missing Status Choices to SurgicalCase:

   • Add CONFIRMED status
   • Add PREP status

2. Add Workflow Views:

   • confirm_case(request, pk) - Confirm scheduled case
   • prep_case(request, pk) - Mark case in prep
   • cancel_case(request, pk) - Cancel case
   • postpone_case(request, pk) - Postpone case
   • reschedule_case(request, pk) - Reschedule case

3. Add URL Patterns:

   path('cases/<int:pk>/confirm/', views.confirm_case, name='confirm_case'),
   path('cases/<int:pk>/prep/', views.prep_case, name='prep_case'),
   path('cases/<int:pk>/cancel/', views.cancel_case, name='cancel_case'),
   path('cases/<int:pk>/postpone/', views.postpone_case, name='postpone_case'),
   path('cases/<int:pk>/reschedule/', views.reschedule_case, name='reschedule_case'),
   

4. Create Reschedule Template:

   • operating_theatre/templates/operating_theatre/case_reschedule.html

Phase 2: Update Data Generation

1. Remove from inpatients_data.py:

   • Remove SurgerySchedule data generation

2. Verify or_data.py:

   • Ensure SurgicalCase generation includes all statuses
   • Verify insurance approval integration

Phase 3: Database Migration

1. Create migrations:

   python manage.py makemigrations
   python manage.py migrate
   

2. Verify no broken references
