HIPAA-Compliant Healthcare Management System

A modern, secure, and HIPAA-compliant healthcare management system built with React, NestJS, and TypeScript.

🏗 Architecture Overview

The application follows a microservices architecture with three main components:

Frontend (/www)

  • React + TypeScript
  • Vite for build tooling
  • Context API for state management
  • HIPAA-compliant security measures
  • Role-based access control
  • Protected health information handling

Auth Service (/api/auth-service)

  • NestJS microservice
  • JWT-based authentication
  • Role-based authorization
  • Session management
  • Audit logging
  • Password security

Appointment Service (/api/appointment-service)

  • NestJS microservice
  • Appointment management
  • Healthcare provider scheduling
  • Patient records
  • Audit trails
  • PHI protection

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • Node.js 18+ (for local development)
  • npm or yarn

Quick Start with Docker

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/healthcare-app.git
    cd healthcare-app
  2. Copy the environment template:

Manual Setup

  1. Install dependencies for all services:

    # Frontend
    cd www
    npm install
    
    # Auth Service
    cd ../api/auth-service
    npm install
    
    # Appointment Service
    cd ../appointment-service
    npm install
  2. Set up databases:

    • PostgreSQL for auth and appointment services
    • Redis for caching and sessions
  3. Start each service:

    # Frontend
    cd www
    npm run dev
    
    # Auth Service
    cd ../api/auth-service
    npm run start:dev
    
    # Appointment Service
    cd ../appointment-service
    npm run start:dev

🧪 Testing

Each service includes unit and integration tests:

# Run frontend tests
cd www
npm test

# Run auth service tests
cd api/auth-service
