Requirements

EmCare required that we develop the app with:

The app was to be web-based.They also required MySQL to connect to an

SQL database from which the app would obtain its information.

Security & Permissions

The login page checks the user’s credentials against the database on the server, and grants access based on that user’s permissions or role(s) (Provider or Scheduler).

This also prevents direct unauthorized access via a specific page’s URL.

Calendar & Database Connections

We used Datebox, an open source mobile calendar, to display the schedule information.

The calendar connects with the SQL database to retrieve a Provider’s shift information.

For Schedulers, selecting a date will show all shifts for that day, including available shifts that can be filled.

Provider Preferences

Providers can edit preferences to set Preferred working shifts Preferred work days (week or weekend) Preferred holidays

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Employee Roster

Schedulers have access to a roster of all employees’ contact information.

The app connects to the database to retrieve the information, which is parsed into a table and displayed in the app page.

Name

Email Address

Phone Number

Filling Shifts

Schedulers can fill open shifts by selecting from a list of doctors available to work that shift.

This updates the database and the schedules will show the selected doctor covering that shift.
