Patient Registration and Survey Application for a Dental Service Company

Client:

Category: Healthcare | Node.js and React

Date: Jun 25, 2024

About the client

Our client is a leading dental service company that has a website which offers services related to dental practices. They have super admin, clinic admin, and many clinics as members. And they can access user creation, dynamic forms, CRUD operation in forms, secure file upload, and PDF creation.

Client’s requirement

The client wanted to develop a patient registration and administration application for the dental services portal. The main purpose was to run dynamic surveys. And the number of such surveys should not be limited for quality purposes. The super admin needs access to create and assign forms to the clinic admin. And the clinic admin should have permission to write, read or delete anything required.

Cannyfore Technology Solutions

We designed, developed, and implemented the patient registration and administration application for the client’s dental services portal. Using this application, the client can perform various functions & can also run dynamics surveys. We met the client’s requirements with SurveyJS.

We created a tailor-fit solution for the client with SurveyJS so they can conduct dynamic surveys without any glitches. Now with SurveyJS, running, loading and editing the existing surveys on their website is easier than ever.

Our solution helped them to integrate the custom widgets and use personalised survey templates as well. They can embed the creator in their application with a commercial licence. Also, they can create multiple types of questions and use multiple frameworks with flexibility for an optimised experience.

Our client can now customise the UI theme and organise the survey flow as required. And it is easier to view survey models and results in JSON. Moreover, loading survey data from RESTful API and localising is a smoother procedure with SurveyJS.

Survey Application components:

The survey application that we developed using SurveyJS allows the integration of customisable surveys and forms into online portals or applications. The prime components of this application are:

SurveyJS Library is a JavaScript widget that supports JavaScript frameworks like Angular, jQuery etc. and works well with JavaScript-supported applications.
SurveyJS Creator helps to establish a form or survey setup.
SurveyJS Analytics helps in building new pages for surveys with visual graphical presentations like pie charts, bars, lines, or as required.
SurveyJS PDF helps to create the PDF form and allows filling the required areas with user responses on PDF Export. The commercial license expands the authority.

Patient registration and administration application components:

We have developed a patient registration & administration application for the client as Phase 1. This also involved the upgradation to the latest version of Laravel, new UI/UX, and other preferred improvements, as the client needed.
