Beyond the Waiting Room: Inside Our Hospital Management System
Hospitals run on five things happening in parallel: patients moving through OPD and IPD, doctors charting and prescribing, labs and radiology processing orders, pharmacy tracking every dose, and billing reconciling it all against insurance. Most systems handle one or two of these well and bolt the rest on as an afterthought. We built ours around all five from day one — and it's live as an interactive demo.

Five Modules, One Patient Record
| Module | Purpose | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Management (OPD/IPD) | Manages outpatient check-ins and inpatient admissions | Unique Health ID generation, bed allocation, queue tracking |
| Clinical & E-Prescribing | Streamlines physician workflows and charting | EHR view per encounter, digital prescriptions, allergy/interaction alerts |
| Laboratory (LIS) & Radiology (RIS) | Controls diagnostic testing and imaging workflows | Unified order queue, ordered → in-progress → completed tracking, digital reports |
| Pharmacy & Inventory | Manages medication dispensing and stock control | Batch tracking, expiry alerts, reorder points, dispense-on-prescription |
| Billing & Claims (RCM) | Handles revenue cycle management | Automated itemized billing, insurance pre-authorization, TPA tracking |
Every module reads from and writes to the same underlying patient record — an OPD visit that gets admitted becomes an IPD stay without losing history, and every lab order, prescription, and radiology study automatically feeds into the final invoice.
A Tour of the System
Command Center Overview
The front desk and charge nurse need the same five numbers at a glance: total patients, how many are waiting in the OPD queue, bed occupancy, pending diagnostic orders, and today's billed revenue — backed by a live OPD queue and IPD census.

Patient Management — OPD/IPD
This is where the patient journey starts: a searchable directory with auto-generated Health IDs, an OPD queue you can walk from "waiting" to "in consult" to "admitted" with a click, and a live bed-availability grid across wards and the ICU so admitting staff always know what's open.

Clinical & E-Prescribing
Select any active encounter and you get the full clinical picture: chief complaint, known allergies, and a prescription form that runs a live allergy check the moment a medication is selected — including cross-reactivity within a drug class, so a penicillin allergy correctly flags amoxicillin, not just "penicillin" by name.

Lab (LIS) & Radiology (RIS)
One unified order queue for both labs and imaging studies — order a test, watch it move from ordered to in-progress to completed, and attach the result or report directly to the order. No switching between two separate systems to see a patient's full diagnostic picture.

Pharmacy & Inventory
Medication stock with batch numbers and expiry dates that color-code themselves as they approach expiration, reorder-level flags, and a dispense queue that deducts stock automatically the moment a prescription is fulfilled — so pharmacy and prescribing never drift out of sync.

Billing & Claims (RCM)
Generate an invoice for any encounter and the system automatically itemizes it — consultation or admission fee, every lab test, every imaging study, every dispensed medication — then track insurance pre-authorization status and TPA name right alongside payment status.

How It's Built
- Vue 3 (Composition API,
<script setup>) + TypeScript + Vite - Tailwind CSS v4 on our design system tokens
- SQLite running entirely in the browser via sql.js — patients, visits, prescriptions, lab/radiology orders, medications, and invoices all live in real relational tables, joined with real SQL
- Data persists locally between visits, with a one-click Reset demo data button
Try It Yourself
Register a patient, run them through OPD, admit them to a bed, prescribe a medication and watch the allergy check fire, order a lab test, dispense from pharmacy, and generate the final itemized bill — the whole patient journey, in one browser tab.
