Hospital Room Tracking App

Inspiration

There is a major communication issue between nurses and housekeeping. Sometimes housekeeping doesn't know that they have to clean a room, or nurses aren't sure how long it will take for a room to become available again. We wanted to create an app that fixes this issue

What it does

This app allows you to create as many rooms as you want to match your hospital rooms. After creating rooms, you can add patients those rooms. The status page is the main page of our app. It allows you to see every room and the status of that room (available, ready for cleaning, being cleaned, unavailable).

How we built it

We built this program using Python and customtkinter, an extention from tkinter.

Challenges we ran into

We didn't have much experience with tkinter prior to the hackathon, so we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to format our GUI. It was also our first project working with group members online, so we were somewhat inexperienced when it came to using Git and GitHub in a team environment.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Created a visually appealing interface
• Achieved our goals for the project

What we learned

• Learned to work as a team
• Learned how to use tkinter

What's next for Hospital Room Tracking App

We could use SQL to create a login system so we wouldn't have to input rooms and housekeepers every time we ran the program. We could also expand this to track other things, such as patient transportation times.
