Abstract
The development of a Cloud-based Healthcare Information System (CHIS) is a significant project aimed at creating a scalable and reliable cloud computing system to optimize clinical outcomes and improve patient care. The project covers the entire software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, system design, implementation, testing, and deployment. Key features of the system include user authentication, patient management, electronic health records (EHR), appointment scheduling, interoperability, telemedicine capabilities, data analytics, and security measures. Technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React.js, Angular.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Java, Python, and Node.js are used in the system's development. Cloud computing platforms like Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are utilized for hosting. Furthermore, the system uses containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes for more effective deployment and management of application components. Standards and procedures from the healthcare sector, including Health Level Seven (HL7) and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), are incorporated to ensure flexibility, compatibility, and integrity. Security measures such as access restrictions, audit trails, encryption, and compliance with mandates like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are implemented.
