Roughly 6 billion people or approximately 85% of the world's population lives in an Emerging Market country that lack streamlined reservation and appointment protocols for rapid offline healthcare consultation and outpatient services. Existing outpatient consultation has gaps between healthcare facility search and wait times in the queue during registration. This bottleneck is a contributing factor to critical capacity issues managing inpatient and outpatient flow.
The difficulty lies in obtaining a clinical assessment or scheduling a medical appointment through existing reservation systems that lack hyperlocal triage.
Our mission is to:
Provide reduced wait times for consultation and out-patient services for at-risk patients.
Fix disproportionate allocation of resource constraints and inconsistent flow of patients.
Reduce wait times for dissatisfied patients
Reduce high healthcare administrative costs as a direct consequence of patient allocation and wait times.
Project Healthcare, from hereon called the brokering service, is a set of upstream OpenAPI specification to extend any patient facing user interface looking to integrate to location-aware consultation and diagnostics facilities near them by:
Exposing a diagnosis API to capture patient symptoms. Exposing geolocation API to caputure patient's location and offer nearby facilities to take action on based on their diagnosis and location.
The specification follows a sandwich service model i.e. it requires one or more upstream producer services and one downstream consumer service as follows:
The patient facing application, known from hereon as the downstream consumer service, calls the diagnosis and geolocation API. The brokering service stores transient diagnosis request and enqueues them to upstream provider service that should return records of facilities and their specialties based on the diagnosis. The brokering service returns the records of matching facilities to the downstream consumer service.
