by HephtronCode

A full-stack hospital operations platform (React + Express + MongoDB) for patient registry, appointments, medical records, and ward occupancy. Reference implementation for sensitive-data systems: role-based access control, audit logging, input validation, rate limiting, and soft-delete patterns built in from the start.

Panacea is a modern, full-stack hospital management platform for streamlined patient care, appointment scheduling, and clinical operations.

Why it's useful: It doubles as a reference implementation for building sensitive-data systems. Production-grade structure is built in from the start:

  • Role-based access control (RBAC): Admin, Doctor, Nurse, Receptionist, Patient roles with strict endpoint protection
  • Audit logging: Major actions logged for compliance (AuditLog collection)
  • Input validation: Mongoose schemas plus centralized validators
  • Rate limiting: Brute-force and DoS protection
  • Soft deletes: Critical entities (e.g. Patient) use isDeleted with transparent filtering so data is never hard-deleted
  • Security: Helmet, CORS, HPP, consistent API response shapes

Core features: Landing page, authentication, patient registry with medical history, appointments (schedule and status), medical records, ward management (bed occupancy), analytics dashboard.

Tech stack: React 19 + Vite, TanStack Query, React Router, Tailwind + shadcn/ui, Recharts; Node.js + Express 5, MongoDB + Mongoose, JWT, Winston + Morgan. Docker Compose for production-like runs.
