Design

Birthday notifications

This application does not automatically wish patients a happy birthday but rather notifies the doctor of any birthdays and provides the contact information of patients. The doctor already logs in to drchrono to use the app and making them also log into their email to send automatic messages would not be right considering drchono already has a service to message patients.

Pipeline

load_expires_timestamp was added to the default pipeline in order to save the expiration time of tokens. This will come in handy when refreshing tokens.

API

api.py contains all functions getting information from the api, in the future, the refresh_token function should be moved to the backends file. Information is retrieved from the patients endpoint instead of the patients:summary endpoint because finding whether it is a patients birthday and after that getting their contact information would cause more effort from the user than they would be hoping to invest.

Modules

modules.py contains the functions that create the content for the views to keep those readable. They offer a phone link to the patient on their cellphone if it is available with a home phone number as a second option. An email address is also provided with a mailto link for doctors who like to have a standard message ready to go. Improvements here could be made by automatically opening the drchrono message service and signing using the doctor's name when the api will allow it. Another extension could be made by allowing doctors to create their own happy birthday message for a good balance between time efficiency and personability.

Front-end

Bootstrap creates a simplistic style that would allow this tool to smoothly be absorbed by bigger projects.
