The problem
Reception ran entirely on paper across four OPD desks — General, Specialist, Laboratory and Emergency — each collecting a different fee and issuing a government-formatted slip. Nothing reconciled at the end of the day. And reception cannot stop serving patients because the network is down.
How we built it
- Built a dual Electron architecture — a server app and desk clients over the hospital LAN — so the internet is not a dependency.
- Modelled registration per OPD category, with fees configurable rather than compiled in.
- Generated and printed slips to the government format the hospital is required to issue.
- Added an accountant day-end close with cash reconciliation across all four desks.
- Gave each desk role-scoped access, with revenue and patient-flow analytics for the administration.
The result
Four desks off paper across 23 user accounts, reconciled at close, and still serving patients when the network drops.
