Overview


According to government regulations, the client, a national institute, needs to continuously evaluate the quality of medical care services among healthcare facilities and health insurance companies in the country. The client faced significant challenges in its efforts to streamline this assessment process. The institute required a comprehensive solution to manage large volumes of data, provide accurate evaluations and offer actionable recommendations.

The traditional existing methods of medical care services evaluation, often relying on paper forms and manual data analysis, were riddled with inefficiencies and limitations. Many paperwork and data entry processes were time-consuming and prone to errors. Manual data analysis made identifying trends and generating meaningful responses or suggesting actions difficult. Healthcare facilities received evaluation results and recommendations with a significant lag, delaying improvements in their medical services delivery. 

The government regulatory bodies and health insurance companies require increasing control over the quality of services that health facilities deliver to their patients. Moreover, such medical care quality assessment should help identify and escalate the issues, resulting in prompt reactions to deficiencies in the quality of healthcare services. Healthcare facilities were missing a centralized digital platform for submitting reports and accessing evaluation results. Therefore, our software development team set out on a task to build a modern web-based solution to automate and speed up these processes, ensure consistent data integration and scalability as well as improve user experience.

Solution


The project aimed to develop a robust healthcare quality evaluation system that included backend, a web interface frontend and a web portal. Our software development team created a scalable, secure and efficient backend infrastructure to handle healthcare data and report storage, processing and analysis. During the frontend development stage, we designed and implemented a web portal with an intuitive and user-friendly interface for healthcare facilities to upload their reports and access results.

For this project, we needed to ensure seamless integration between different data sources from various healthcare facilities, adhere to personal data regulations and implement strong security measures to protect sensitive medical data. Thorough testing efforts were also required to ensure fault-free operations of a web portal, secure evaluation report uploads, and robust backend processes for secure data storage and efficient analysis.

Having provided a full cycle development process, we have implemented a comprehensive medical care services quality evaluation system in partnership with a national institute. The development stages included:
