Grey Matter India developed a web-based application for managing multiple clinics that allows doctors and receptionists shared access and centralized patient data management across locations. The application handles appointments, payments, lab reports, and generates receipts. It was built using a three-tier architecture with ASP.NET, MVC, C#, and SQL Server. The application integrates with a third party scheduling software and uses a SAAS model to manage multi-location clinics from a single administration interface.

Client Requirements
Client required a web based application that would manage data for multiple
clinics. The application should provide common access to the clinic’s doctors
and receptionists.
The application should be able to handle all the back office activities that are
required for patient appointments and their follow ups. Doctors should be
able to handle their daily schedules based on clinic locations. Patients should
be able to make the payments through cash, credit cards, insurance cards
etc. System should be able to handle part payments too. The application
should have the ability to generate receipts for Insurance companies and for
patients

Taking into account the functionality of the application,
the following development plan was finalized upon.
Web server communication with web browser using HTTP
protocol.
Appointment scheduling software was third party and was
integrated into the application.
SAAS module was used for the application approach in
order to manage the multi-location data controlled by their
respective administrators.
Planning
8. http://www.greymatterindia.com
A three tier architecture was used for this web application
Presentation Layer (PL), Business Access Layer (BAL) and
Data Access Layer (DAL).
Business Access Layer: contains business logic, validation
that is related to the data.
Data Access Layer: contains logic for the business layer to
connect to the data and be able to perform required actions
like insert, delete and update.
Presentation Layer: contains .asp or HTML and forms the
user interface or giving output from the system or taking inputs
from user.
Architecture

Deployment Architecture
Windows Server 2008 was used with IIS 7. MVC architecture
was followed.
The benefits of MVC architecture are:
MVC architecture provides full control over the rendered
HTML.
Soc – provides clean separation of controls.
TDD – provides test driven development
Integrates easily with Javascript frameworks.

Development Highlights
The application was successfully designed to be integrated with
third party scheduler and was able to manage all the patient
appointments too. SAAS model provided the client with a
system that was capable of managing multi location data. Ease
of access was enabled for all locations. Patient visits were
smoothly managed with the queue management module. Users,
user roles and page level access to these roles were created by
administrator who was given full control of the software.
