Case study
Himveda Hospital Management System
Healthcare provider
Client problem
Manual patient records and fragmented workflows made it hard to manage appointments, billing, and daily operations with accuracy and speed.
Solution
We built a hospital management system focused on clear workflows, role-based access, and reliable data handling across core hospital operations.
What we built
- Patient registration and patient profiles
- Doctor scheduling and appointment booking
- Billing workflow with receipts and history
- Role-based access for admin/staff
- Operational dashboard for daily activity
Key modules
- Patients: registration, search, history
- Appointments: booking, rescheduling, status tracking
- Billing: invoices, payments, exports
- Users/Roles: permissions and access control
- Reports: basic operational summaries
How it was built
- Started with workflow mapping (reception → doctor → billing) to remove ambiguous states.
- Designed a data model around core entities: Patient, Appointment, Invoice, Payment, and User.
- Built CRUD screens with strict validation and predictable error handling.
- Implemented RBAC so each role only sees and can act on relevant modules.
- Added search/filter patterns to keep daily operations fast for staff.
Challenges
- Keeping workflows simple while supporting real-world exceptions (reschedules, partial payments).
- Preventing data duplication for patients and maintaining clean history.
- Balancing speed of UI with correctness of backend rules.
Quality & release
- Input validation on every critical action.
- Basic QA flows for booking, billing, and role permissions.
- Release checklist to avoid breaking daily operations.
Architecture
- Role-based admin application designed around real hospital workflows.
- Clear validation boundaries between UI, API, and data layer.
- Data model centered on operational entities and traceable history.
Key decisions
- RBAC to prevent accidental access to sensitive operations.
- Search-first UI patterns to reduce time spent finding patient records.
- Schema-driven modeling to keep billing and appointment states consistent.
Scalability considerations
- Designed to add departments and new modules without rewriting core flows.
- Supports growth in patient records with index-friendly queries.
- Ready for future modules (lab reports, pharmacy, inventory) without breaking existing design.
Outcome
- More reliable appointment and billing operations
- Faster retrieval of patient records
- Clear ownership and reduced operational confusion

Stack rationale
- TypeScript for safer refactors as workflows evolve.
- A structured backend pattern to keep business rules centralized.
- Database-first thinking to protect correctness of billing and appointment states.
