Abstract

In a time of rapid technological advancement, the integration of sophisticated software solutions within the healthcare sector is paramount for enhancing patient care, data management, and overall efficiency. Our poster presents an overview of our UD EHR, an electronic health record created to transform healthcare through more easily accessible technology. Our healthcare record utilizes an in-house web framework built to configure the webpage by way of a real-time database. By leveraging this component-built database framework, the electronic health record can be infinitely reconfigured in a matter of seconds. Additionally, if the components to be added already exist somewhere in the record, then the new duplicate can be added with zero lines of code written. The continuous reusability of the framework component code makes it not only much simpler to configure but promotes ease of use as well. Our poster seeks to explore the development and future implementation of UD EHR, highlighting the key features such as the different components as well as the database as a whole. While the database itself is what configures the page, it also functions as a stereotypical database, storing values for each individual input as well as their specific users. Professors will be able to create, update, and grade patient assignments for each individual student all via the same application. Using this method of data storage also allows any set of data to be imported or exported via a single file. Our team is excited for future students here at the University of Delaware to train using our new software, and we are even more excited to continue to fix, update, and continue to build it along the way.
