Build with Catalyst: Improve healthcare services workflows using SmartBrowz

Let's look at the next use-case in the Build with Catalyst series where we dig into PDF and screenshot component of SmartBrowz that lets you generate visual documents of websites and web applications. Whether you have the HTML code of your input page in the editor, URL of the web page, or a custom template, generating PDF or screenshots is a breeze with SmartBrowz.

Efficient documentation and streamlined information exchange in healthcare services

Catalyst SmartBrowz is a browser service that empowers you to manage and control a remote browser in Catalyst's cloud environment through a wide range of components like headless, logs, templates, browser logic, pdf and screenshot, and many more. 

As a Catalyst partner, you can assist hospitals in configuring SmartBrowz to gather relevant data from their various systems and compile them into coherent PDF reports. SmartBrowz can be seamlessly integrated with existing hospital management systems like electronic health records (EHRs) and medical imaging systems through APIs.This integration eliminates the need to switch between multiple platforms, streamlining the data consolidation process and improving access to critical patient information.

Here's how you can leverage this component to enhance documentation, collaboration, and decision-making in hospital settings:

1. A web app built and hosted on Catalyst or elsewhere can be used for appointment booking by the patients. The web app could capture details like date of appointment, preferred doctor, the department, and any other details needed for the hospital admin.

2. Once the appointment is booked and the payment is made by the patient, the appointment confirmation and invoice details must be sent as a PDF to patient email ID. Using the Templates component, the hospital admin can create various templates for Appointments, and Invoices that can be used multiple times for each patient.

3. An advanced I/O function would power the feature, execute the code and generate appointment tickets and invoices using the templates created and trigger an email. You could either copy the SDK code snippet or API added in the console and implement it in your logic to generate PDFs and screenshots through code.

4. Once the patient finishes the consultation, the prescriptions and medical reports can be sent to the patient email ID as PDF attachments. The healthcare provider can create customized reports that include details like patient information, medical history, treatment plans, diagnostic results, and more. This could be achieved by creating yet another template that could be filled with dynamic data for each patient by running a function call.

5. You could store patient details like past appointments, invoices, medical reports, and more in a Catalyst File Store so that all the historical patient data can be accessed any number of times.

6. In the email SDK, include the appointment booking link in the body of the email that can be called by the Catalyst function. This ensures that the patient can use the same appointment booking link shared in the personal email ID for the next visit.

You can also offer comprehensive training and support services to hospitals during the implementation of SmartBrowz by training healthcare professionals on the best practices to effectively utilize SmartBrowz. The Catalyst components used in the solution include:  

• Catalyst FaaS

• File Store

• SmartBrowz

• Mail notification using Mail SDK
