HealthHub
Patient management system for small clinics
Overview
HealthHub was developed for a network of five independent healthcare clinics facing challenges with patient record management, appointment scheduling, and billing processes. The clinics were struggling with paper-based systems and outdated software that couldn't meet their growing needs. Each clinic had different workflows, but all needed a unified solution that could provide secure access to patient records, streamline administrative tasks, and improve patient communication. We created a comprehensive cloud-based patient management system that digitized all aspects of clinic operations. The platform features a customizable dashboard for different user roles, secure storage and access of medical records, automated appointment reminders, integrated billing functionality, and a patient portal. The solution significantly reduced administrative overhead, minimized scheduling errors, and improved patient satisfaction through more efficient service delivery and communication.
The Challenge
The network of independent healthcare clinics faced several significant challenges:
- Fragmented patient information across paper records and outdated digital systems
- High rate of scheduling conflicts and missed appointments
- Inefficient billing processes leading to delayed payments and revenue loss
- Limited ability to securely share patient records between providers
- Difficulty meeting regulatory compliance requirements with existing systems
- Poor patient communication channels resulting in reduced satisfaction
Our Solution
We developed HealthHub, a comprehensive SaaS solution designed specifically for small to medium-sized healthcare clinics. Our approach included:
Discovery Phase
We spent two weeks onsite across the five clinics, observing workflows, interviewing staff, and documenting pain points. This hands-on approach allowed us to understand the unique requirements of each clinic while identifying common needs that could be addressed through a unified platform.
Technical Architecture
We built a secure cloud-based solution using React and Next.js for the frontend, with TypeScript ensuring code quality and maintainability. The backend uses a PostgreSQL database with Prisma ORM, deployed on AWS infrastructure with HIPAA-compliant security measures. We implemented HL7 integration to connect with laboratory systems and other healthcare providers.
Key Implementation Features
- Custom role-based dashboards for administrators, practitioners, and support staff
- Flexible electronic medical record system with customizable templates
- Intelligent scheduling system with conflict detection and optimized provider utilization
- Automated billing workflows with insurance verification
- Secure patient portal with messaging, appointment management, and document access
- Comprehensive audit logging and compliance reporting
Deployment Strategy
We implemented a clinic-by-clinic migration approach with comprehensive data import from legacy systems. Each deployment included three days of onsite training and support, ensuring staff were comfortable with the new system before moving to the next location.

Results
The implementation of HealthHub across the network of independent clinics has demonstrated significant operational and patient care improvements:
The system has significantly improved clinical workflows, reducing administrative burden on staff while enhancing patient care quality. With streamlined records access, practitioners report more informed decision-making and better care continuity. The patient portal has transformed communication, with over 70% of non-urgent inquiries now handled through secure messaging.
