Introduction

The Decentralized Health Care Management System is a TypeScript-based library designed to facilitate healthcare processes, including patient registration, telemedicine consultations, prescription management, insurance claims processing, and research data sharing. The system aims to improve accessibility and efficiency in healthcare management, ensuring better patient care, streamlined operations, and more secure data sharing.

Features

• Patient Registration: Register new patients and manage their profiles.
• Telemedicine Consultation: Conduct remote consultations between patients and doctors.
• Prescription Management: Issue and track prescriptions for patients.
• Insurance Claim Processing: Manage and submit insurance claims for reimbursement.
• Research Data Sharing: Share anonymized patient data for research purposes.

Technologies Used

• TypeScript: For building the application logic.
• Node.js: For running the backend services.
• Jest: For unit testing.
• Docker: For containerizing the application (optional).
• HTML: For front-end pages (if included).

Installation

To install the library via npm, run the following command:

npm install decentralized-health-care-management-system

Once installed, you can import and use the system in your TypeScript or Node.js project.

Usage

After installing, you can use the classes and functions provided by the library. Here's an example of how to use the package:

import { PatientRegistration, TelemedicineConsultations, PrescriptionManagement } from 'decentralized-health-care-management-system';

// Create instances of the classes
const patientRegistration = new PatientRegistration();
const telemedicineConsultations = new TelemedicineConsultations();
const prescriptionManagement = new PrescriptionManagement();

// Example of patient registration
patientRegistration.registerPatient(patient);

// Example of telemedicine consultation initiation
telemedicineConsultations.initiateConsultation(consultation, doctor, patient);

// Example of prescription management
prescriptionManagement.issuePrescription(prescription, doctor, patient);

You can also call other available methods for insurance claim processing and research data sharing as per your needs.
