Application approach was done as per SAAS module in order to manage multi-location data
controlled by their respective administrators.

Architecture


We are using 3-tier architecture which provides Presentation layer (PL), Business Access layer
(BL) and Data Access layer (DAL).

BAL: Business Access layer contains business logic, validation related to the data.

DAL: Data Access layer contain methods which help the Business layer to connect data and
perform required action like returning data or manipulating data (insert, delete, update).

PL: Presentation layer contain .asp or html where data is presented to the user and inputs are
taken from the user.

Deployment Architecture

For deployment we are using Windows Server 2008 with IIS7. We are also using MVC
architecture. Benefits of MVC are given below:

1. Enables the full control over the rendered HTML
2. Provides clean separation of concerns (SoC)
3. Enables Test Driven Development (TDD)
4. Easy integration with JavaScript frameworks
5. Follows the design of stateless nature of the web
6. Restful URLs that enables SEO
7. No View-State and Post-Back events
8. It provides RAD development
9. Easy development models for developers those coming from WinForm development



Development Highlights


The application was designed perfectly to integrate with the third-party scheduler and manage
appointments of the patients. The SAAS model provided the client with a system capable of
handling all the multi-location data and with ease of access for everyone. Queue management
module helped maintaining the patient visits smoothly. The control of the site was given to
administrator who can set up users, user roles and assign page-level access to each of these
roles.
