HEALTHCARE ACCESS FACILITATOR STREAMLINED DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND PATIENT MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Achieving the highest standard of health is a fundamental right for every individual. This paper presents an open-source web application designed to simplify the process of booking doctor appointments, bridging the gap between patients and healthcare providers. Developed using Python, favored for its clear and concise syntax, and Django, an open-source web framework known for its cost-effectiveness and scalability, the application aims to enhance overall healthcare efficiency and provide patients with a more transparent and user-friendly experience. The platform enables patients to easily register and book appointments with doctors, with all relevant medical information securely stored in a centralized database. This information is accessible to both patients and their physicians, facilitating better communication, continuity of care, and a more streamlined appointment scheduling process.
