API Architecture
Key Design Decisions
-
Two Separate Endpoints:
- Vitals: Uses
/patients/{patientId}/vitalsendpoint (POST only) - All Other Tabs: Use
/appointments/{appointmentId}/careplansendpoint
- Vitals: Uses
-
Complete Data Submission:
- Each save operation must send data for ALL sections, not just the modified tab
- This ensures data consistency and prevents partial updates
-
Optional Fields:
- All fields in the prescription are optional
- Allows progressive data entry across consultation
-
Auto-Save Strategy:
- 30-second auto-save interval when data is dirty
- Visual loading indicators during save operations
- No manual save buttons needed
URL Structure
/cms/prescription/{appointmentId}/{patientId}/queue?did={doctorId}appointmentId: Primary identifier for the careplan (e.g., "30265")patientId: Patient identifier for vitals endpoint (e.g., "23282")doctorId: Doctor ID from query params (e.g., "87009")

}Data Transformations
Frontend to API Transformations
1. Frequency Mapping
const frequencyMap = {
'od': 'DAILY', // Once daily
'bd': 'TWICE_DAILY', // Twice daily
'tds': 'THRICE_DAILY', // Three times daily
'qds': 'FOUR_TIMES', // Four times daily
'sos': 'AS_NEEDED', // As needed
'stat': 'IMMEDIATELY', // Immediately
'weekly': 'WEEKLY', // Weekly
'monthly': 'MONTHLY' // Monthly
}
// API to Frontend (reverse mapping)
const apiToFrontendFrequency = {
'DAILY': 'od',
'1-0-0': 'od',
'0-0-1': 'od',
'TWICE_DAILY': 'bd',
'1-0-1': 'bd',
'THRICE_DAILY': 'tds',
'1-1-1': 'tds',
'FOUR_TIMES': 'qds',
'1-1-1-1': 'qds'
}2. Date Format Conversion
// Frontend (ISO) to API (DD-MM-YYYY)
const formatDateForAPI = (isoDate: string): string => {
const date = new Date(isoDate);
const day = date.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0');
const month = (date.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0');
const year = date.getFullYear();
return `${day}-${month}-${year}`;
}
// API (DD-MM-YYYY) to Frontend (ISO)
const parseAPIDate = (dateStr: string): string => {
const [day, month, year] = dateStr.split('-');
return new Date(`${year}-${month}-${day}`).toISOString();
}3. Field Type Conversions
// Convert string IDs to numbers for API
const transformMedication = (med: Medicine): APIMediation => ({
medicine_id: parseInt(med.id),
medicine_name: med.name,
frequency: med.frequency, // e.g., "1-0-1"
duration: med.duration.toString(),
duration_unit: med.durationUnit,
dosage_form: med.route?.toUpperCase() || 'ORAL',
note: med.instructions || '',
qty: med.quantity?.toString() || ''
})API to Frontend Transformations
const transformAPIResponse = (apiData: any): Prescription => {
return {
id: apiData.id?.toString(),
appointmentId: apiData.appointment_id?.toString(),
// Transform complaints to observations
observations: {
complaints: apiData.complaint?.map(c => ({
id: generateId(),
name: c.name,
since: c.since,
sinceUnit: c.sinceUnit
})),
diagnosis: apiData.diagnosis
},
// Transform investigations
investigations: apiData.investigations?.map(inv => ({
id: generateId(),
testName: inv.name,
clinicalNotes: inv.notes,
category: 'general',
status: 'ordered'
})),
// Transform medications
medications: apiData.medications?.map(med => ({
id: med.medicine_id?.toString(),
name: med.medicine_name,
frequency: parseFrequency(med.frequency),
duration: parseInt(med.duration),
durationUnit: med.duration_unit.toLowerCase(),
route: med.dosage_form.toLowerCase(),
instructions: med.note,
quantity: parseInt(med.qty)
})),
// Transform advice
advice: {
dietaryAdvice: apiData.advice?.diet || [],
lifestyleAdvice: apiData.advice?.dos || [],
precautions: apiData.advice?.donts || []
},
// Transform follow-up
nextVisit: apiData.follow_up ? {
isRequired: !!apiData.follow_up.follow_up_date,
date: apiData.follow_up.follow_up_date ?
parseAPIDate(apiData.follow_up.follow_up_date) : undefined,
reason: apiData.follow_up.follow_up_message
} : undefined
}
}Implementation Plan
Phase 1: API Service Layer (Day 1)
1.1 Create carePlanApi.ts
// apps/cms/src/services/carePlanApi.ts
import { apiClient } from "@kulcare/api-client"
import { Prescription, VitalsData } from "../types/prescription"
export const carePlanApi = {
// Get existing careplan
async getCareplan(appointmentId: string): Promise<any> {
try {
const response = await apiClient.get(
`/appointments/${appointmentId}/careplans`
)
return response.data
} catch (error) {
// Return null if no careplan exists yet
if (error.response?.status === 404) {
return null
}
throw error
}
},
// Save vitals (separate endpoint)
async saveVitals(patientId: string, appointmentId: string, vitals: VitalsData): Promise<void> {
const payload = transformVitalsForAPI(vitals, appointmentId)
await apiClient.post(`/patients/${patientId}/vitals`, payload)
},
// Save careplan (all other tabs)
async saveCareplan(appointmentId: string, prescription: Prescription): Promise<any> {
const payload = transformPrescriptionForAPI(prescription)
const response = await apiClient.post(
`/appointments/${appointmentId}/careplans`,
payload
)
return response.data
}
}Phase 2: Hook Integration (Day 2)
2.1 Update usePrescription Hook
// apps/cms/src/hooks/usePrescription.ts
export function usePrescription(appointmentId: string, patientId: string) {
const [careplanId, setCareplanId] = useState<number | null>(null)
const [isSaving, setIsSaving] = useState(false)
const [lastSaved, setLastSaved] = useState<Date | null>(null)
// Fetch existing careplan on mount
const { data: existingCareplan } = useQuery({
queryKey: ['careplan', appointmentId],
queryFn: () => carePlanApi.getCareplan(appointmentId),
staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes
})
// Transform and set initial data
useEffect(() => {
if (existingCareplan) {
setCareplanId(existingCareplan.id)
const transformed = transformAPIResponse(existingCareplan)
setLocalPrescription(transformed)
}
}, [existingCareplan])
// Auto-save implementation
const saveChanges = useCallback(async () => {
if (!localPrescription || !isDirty) return
setIsSaving(true)
try {
// Save vitals separately if changed
if (dirtyTabs.has('vitals') && localPrescription.vitals) {
await carePlanApi.saveVitals(patientId, appointmentId, localPrescription.vitals)
}
// Save complete careplan for all other changes
const response = await carePlanApi.saveCareplan(appointmentId, localPrescription)
// Store careplan ID if this is first save
if (!careplanId && response.id) {
setCareplanId(response.id)
}
setLastSaved(new Date())
setIsDirty(false)
toast.success('Changes saved')
} catch (error) {
toast.error('Failed to save changes')
console.error('Save error:', error)
} finally {
setIsSaving(false)
}
}, [localPrescription, isDirty, careplanId])
// Auto-save timer (30 seconds)
useEffect(() => {
if (!isDirty) return
const timer = setTimeout(() => {
saveChanges()
}, 30000) // 30 seconds
return () => clearTimeout(timer)
}, [isDirty, saveChanges])
return {
prescription: localPrescription,
updateSection,
saveChanges,
isSaving,
lastSaved,
isDirty
}
}Phase 3: UI Updates (Day 3)
3.1 Add Auto-Save Indicators
// apps/cms/src/components/prescription/PrescriptionTabs.tsx
export function PrescriptionTabs({ isSaving, lastSaved, isDirty }) {
return (
<div className="flex-1">
{/* Tab content */}
{/* Auto-save indicator */}
<div className="fixed bottom-4 right-4 flex items-center gap-2">
{isSaving && (
<div className="flex items-center gap-2 bg-white shadow-lg rounded-lg px-3 py-2">
<Loader2 className="h-4 w-4 animate-spin" />
<span className="text-sm">Saving...</span>
</div>
)}
{!isSaving && lastSaved && !isDirty && (
<div className="flex items-center gap-2 text-green-600 bg-white shadow-lg rounded-lg px-3 py-2">
<Check className="h-4 w-4" />
<span className="text-sm">
Saved {formatRelativeTime(lastSaved)}
</span>
</div>
)}
{isDirty && !isSaving && (
<div className="text-sm text-muted-foreground bg-white shadow-lg rounded-lg px-3 py-2">
Unsaved changes
</div>
)}
</div>
</div>
)
}Testing Strategy
1. Unit Tests
// Test data transformations
describe('Data Transformations', () => {
it('should transform frontend prescription to API format', () => {
const frontend = createMockPrescription()
const api = transformPrescriptionForAPI(frontend)
expect(api.complaint).toEqual([])
expect(api.medications).toHaveLength(frontend.medications.length)
expect(api.advice.diet).toEqual(frontend.advice.dietaryAdvice)
})
it('should transform API response to frontend format', () => {
const apiResponse = createMockAPIResponse()
const frontend = transformAPIResponse(apiResponse)
expect(frontend.id).toBe(apiResponse.id.toString())
expect(frontend.observations.complaints).toHaveLength(apiResponse.complaint.length)
})
})2. Integration Tests
// Test complete save flow
describe('Careplan Save Flow', () => {
it('should save vitals to correct endpoint', async () => {
const { result } = renderHook(() => usePrescription('123', '456'))
act(() => {
result.current.updateSection('vitals', mockVitals)
})

// Complete consultation
await page.click('[data-complete-consultation]')
await page.waitForURL('/cms/queue')
})
})Error Handling
Network Errors
const saveWithRetry = async (fn: () => Promise<any>, maxRetries = 3) => {
let lastError
for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
try {
return await fn()
} catch (error) {
lastError = error
// Don't retry on validation errors
if (error.response?.status === 400) {
throw error
}
// Wait before retry with exponential backoff
await new Promise(resolve =>
setTimeout(resolve, Math.pow(2, i) * 1000)
)
}
}
throw lastError
}Validation Errors
const handleValidationError = (error: any) => {
const validationErrors = error.response?.data?.errors || {}
Object.entries(validationErrors).forEach(([field, messages]) => {
toast.error(`${field}: ${messages.join(', ')}`)
})
}Concurrent Edit Protection
const checkForConcurrentEdits = async (appointmentId: string, lastModified: Date) => {
const current = await carePlanApi.getCareplan(appointmentId)
if (current && new Date(current.updated_at) > lastModified) {
const shouldOverwrite = await confirm(
'This prescription has been modified by another user. Overwrite their changes?'
)
if (!shouldOverwrite) {
throw new Error('Concurrent edit detected')
}
}
}Migration Strategy
Gradual Rollout
- Phase 1: Enable for new prescriptions only
- Phase 2: Migrate existing draft prescriptions
- Phase 3: Full rollout to all users
Feature Flag
const useCarePlanAPI = () => {
const { flags } = useFeatureFlags()
return flags.USE_CAREPLAN_API || false
}
// In usePrescription hook
const shouldUseRealAPI = useCarePlanAPI()
if (shouldUseRealAPI) {
// Use real API
return carePlanApi.getCareplan(appointmentId)
} else {
// Use mock data
return mockPrescriptionData
}Performance Considerations
Debouncing Updates
const debouncedUpdate = useMemo(
() => debounce((section: string, data: any) => {
updateSection(section, data)
}, 500),
[]
)Optimistic Updates
const optimisticSave = async () => {
// Update UI immediately
setLastSaved(new Date())
setIsSaving(false)
try {
// Save in background
await saveChanges()
} catch (error) {
// Rollback on error
setLastSaved(null)
toast.error('Failed to save')
}
}Caching Strategy
const queryClient = useQueryClient()
// Cache careplan for 5 minutes
queryClient.setQueryDefaults(['careplan'], {
staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000,
cacheTime: 10 * 60 * 1000
})Monitoring and Analytics
Track Save Performance
const trackSaveMetrics = (startTime: number, success: boolean) => {
const duration = Date.now() - startTime
analytics.track('careplan_save', {
duration,
success,
tab: currentTab,
appointment_id: appointmentId
})
}Error Tracking
const logError = (error: any, context: any) => {
console.error('Careplan save error:', error)
// Send to error tracking service
Sentry.captureException(error, {
extra: context
})
