Healthcare Rollcall

A system to track the status of healthcare providers during and after a disaster.

Project preview

What it is:

  • An emergency response management tool for the city of Baltimore
  • Generalized API handles data and user authentication
  • Frontend built for healthcare providers to check in with the city
    • Originally planned to track power status in weather emergencies/blackouts
    • Fast-tracked during COVID-19 pandemic to track PPE & symptoms
    • Built to allow different questionnaires to be used depending on the nature of the emergency

What I did:

  • Prototyped map component to display healthcare providers' status across city
  • Implemented Bootstrap & fixed responsive styling issues
  • Onboarded new contributors & helped troubleshoot their dev environments
  • Coordinated dev environment between frontend, backend, & db with Docker Compose

What I learned:

  • Frontend
    • Vue
    • Leaflet in Vue
    • Bootstrap 4
  • Backend
    • Bash scripting
    • Docker Compose

Why it interests me:

  • The city's ability to track hundreds of providers was limited to pen & paper
  • Working on a fast-paced team to help the city manage crises is exciting
  • Modern, Open-Source solutions to city infrastructure benefit everyone
