Real-time queue status updates

Priority-based patient sorting

Automated notifications for staff

Emergency Status Displays

Live department capacity monitoring

Resource availability tracking

Critical alert systems

Technical Implementation

The system was built using:

**Vanilla JavaScript** for maximum compatibility

**WebSocket connections** for real-time updates

**Hospital APIs** for data integration

**Responsive design** for various display sizes

Impact and Results

The implementation resulted in:

**30% reduction** in patient wait times

**Improved staff efficiency** through better information flow

**Enhanced patient experience** with transparent queue status

**Better resource allocation** based on real-time data

Key Takeaways

Working in healthcare IT taught me:

The critical importance of system reliability

How technology can directly improve patient outcomes
