The Objective
For EHR platforms, immediate access to patient data is non-negotiable. When client-side reporting modules become slow or freeze under heavy use, it directly impacts clinician productivity and can compromise patient care. The objective is to provide a highly responsive and reliable reporting experience that works seamlessly within the existing web application, without overburdening the server.
Architectural Approach: High-Performance Client-Side Reporting
Instead of offloading all work to the server, which can introduce latency, a high-performance JavaScript reporting tool allows the user's browser to handle rendering. This approach empowers users with an interactive experience and reduces server costs.
- Targeted Replacement: Identify and replace only the slow reporting module in your application, leaving the rest of the stable system untouched. This minimizes risk and development time.
- Embeddable Viewer: Integrate a lightweight report viewer component directly into your web UI. This allows for features like interactive sorting, drill-down, and on-demand report loading.
- Client-Side Exporting: Empower clinicians to export reports directly to PDF or Excel from their browser, providing instant access to portable, shareable documents.
Blueprint Summary
- Solve UI performance issues by rendering reports on the client-side.
- Choose a reporting tool optimized for speed and a lightweight footprint.
- Empower users with interactive features like sorting, filtering, and direct exporting.
- Improve clinician productivity and satisfaction with a faster, more reliable reporting experience.
