Working on the Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center website, a Manny V. Pangilinan company, was a unique opportunity to merge technical skills with the intricate needs of the healthcare industry. The primary goal was to develop a user-friendly platform where patients could easily view doctors’ schedules and book appointments online, creating a seamless and convenient experience for both healthcare providers and patients.

The Challenge: Building a Robust Platform for Healthcare

From the beginning, it was clear that this project was ambitious. The hospital needed a platform that could efficiently manage a large database of medical professionals, display real-time schedules, and offer a smooth booking process for patients.

Key Features of the Platform:

  • Real-time scheduling for doctors
  • Seamless online booking for patients
  • Large database management for medical professionals
  • Responsive, secure, and easy-to-navigate interface
  • Video Carousel for showcasing their YouTube videos
  • News Page that acts as a blog for product and services announcements
  • A Department Index of their services
  • A Careers Page for applicants

The challenge was to create a user-friendly interface that could manage all these complex functionalities while ensuring that the site was responsive, secure, and easy to navigate.

 

Commitment to Professionalism: Embracing Changes as Opportunities

Commitment to Professionalism: Rather than seeing the changes as setbacks, I viewed them as opportunities to refine the website and make it better. The complexity of the project required multiple revisions, adjustments, and detailed discussions. While it could have been frustrating, every new request was seen as a chance to improve the platform further. Rather than viewing changes as setbacks, they were embraced as opportunities to enhance both functionality and design.

Continuous Improvement:

  • Each new request was a chance to improve user experience.
  • Enhancements were made to the functionality and design.
  • Every adjustment ensured that the website met the highest standards.

Collaboration and Open Communication: The Key to Success

Throughout the project, I maintained open lines of communication with the hospital’s team. I understood that their priority was the safety and convenience of their patients, and every decision we made was in service of that goal.

Areas of Focus:

  • Adjusting the layout of doctors’ profiles for better visibility
  • Fine-tuning the booking system to reduce steps for patients
  • Ensuring seamless functionality across all devices

The Final Product: A Game-Changing Platform

In the end, the website was not just a technical achievement; it was a testament to collaboration and perseverance. Despite the challenges, the end product was a robust, user-friendly platform that has become an integral part of Commonwealth Hospital’s operations.

Benefits for Patients:

  • Easily find the right doctors
  • View doctor availability in real-time
  • Book appointments with just a few clicks

Benefits for the Hospital:

  • Streamlined appointment management
  • Improved operational efficiency
  • Enhanced patient care

Challenges Faced and Lessons Learned

Despite some doubts from the client, especially towards the end of the development, we stayed focused and prioritized delivering the best possible outcome. There were moments where additional revisions and requests could have been charged as extra work, but we chose not to, in order to maintain trust and demonstrate our commitment.

We also recognize that, at times, there were delays on our side, but we always maintained professionalism, keeping our client’s needs at the forefront.
