Selling Code for a Doorman Application for an Acute Psychiatric Hospital

Creating a complete doorman app for a psychiatric hospital involves several steps, including outlining the app's purpose, designing user interfaces, and coding the functionality. Below is a simplified overview and sample code to get you started on a basic version of a doorman app tailored for a psychiatric hospital. We'll focus on user authentication, visitor check-in/check-out functionalities, and a simple logging system.


### Overview


**Features of the Doorman App:**

1. **User Authentication**: Secure login for staff.

2. **Visitor Check-In**: Record visitor details upon arrival.

3. **Visitor Check-Out**: Record visitor departure.

4. **Log Viewing**: View the check-in/check-out history.


### Technology Stack

- **Frontend**: React Native (for cross-platform mobile app)

- **Backend**: Node.js with Express (for API)

- **Database**: MongoDB or Firebase (for storing visitor logs)


### Step 1: Backend Setup


#### 1.1 Install Node.js and Express


```bash

mkdir doorman-app

cd doorman-app

npm init -y

npm install express mongoose body-parser cors dotenv

```


#### 1.2 Create a Basic Express Server


```javascript

// server.js

const express = require('express');

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const cors = require('cors');

const dotenv = require('dotenv');


dotenv.config();


const app = express();

app.use(cors());

app.use(bodyParser.json());


mongoose.connect(process.env.DB_CONNECTION, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })

  .then(() => console.log('MongoDB connected'))

  .catch(err => console.error(err));


const visitorSchema = new mongoose.Schema({

  name: String,

  purpose: String,

  checkIn: { type: Date, default: Date.now },

  checkOut: Date

});

const Visitor = mongoose.model('Visitor', visitorSchema);


// Check-in endpoint

app.post('/checkin', async (req, res) => {

  const visitor = new Visitor(req.body);

  await visitor.save();

  res.status(201).send(visitor);

});


// Check-out endpoint

app.post('/checkout/:id', async (req, res) => {

  const visitor = await Visitor.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params.id, { checkOut: Date.now() }, { new: true });

  res.status(200).send(visitor);

});


// Get visitors log

app.get('/visitors', async (req, res) => {

  const visitors = await Visitor.find();

  res.status(200).send(visitors);

});


// Start server

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.listen(PORT, () => {

  console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`);

});

```


### Step 2: Frontend Setup


#### 2.1 Set Up React Native


```bash

npx react-native init DoormanApp

cd DoormanApp

npm install axios

```


#### 2.2 Create Basic Components


**Example of a Check-In Component**


```javascript

// CheckIn.js

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import { View, TextInput, Button, Alert } from 'react-native';

import axios from 'axios';


const CheckIn = () => {

  const [name, setName] = useState('');

  const [purpose, setPurpose] = useState('');


  const handleCheckIn = async () => {

    try {

      const response = await axios.post('http://<YOUR_SERVER_URL>/checkin', { name, purpose });

      Alert.alert('Checked In', `Visitor ${response.data.name} checked in successfully!`);

    } catch (error) {

      Alert.alert('Error', 'Failed to check in visitor');

    }

  };


  return (

    <View>

      <TextInput placeholder="Visitor Name" value={name} onChangeText={setName} />

      <TextInput placeholder="Purpose of Visit" value={purpose} onChangeText={setPurpose} />

      <Button title="Check In" onPress={handleCheckIn} />

    </View>

  );

};


export default CheckIn;

```


**Example of a Check-Out Component**


```javascript

// CheckOut.js

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

import { View, Button, Alert, FlatList } from 'react-native';

import axios from 'axios';


const CheckOut = () => {

  const [visitors, setVisitors] = useState([]);


  useEffect(() => {

    const fetchVisitors = async () => {

      const response = await axios.get('http://<YOUR_SERVER_URL>/visitors');

      setVisitors(response.data);

    };

    fetchVisitors();

  }, []);


  const handleCheckOut = async (id) => {

    try {

      await axios.post(`http://<YOUR_SERVER_URL>/checkout/${id}`);

      Alert.alert('Checked Out', 'Visitor checked out successfully!');

    } catch (error) {

      Alert.alert('Error', 'Failed to check out visitor');

    }

  };


  return (

    <View>

      <FlatList

        data={visitors}

        keyExtractor={(item) => item._id}

        renderItem={({ item }) => (

          <View>

            <Text>{item.name} - {item.purpose}</Text>

            <Button title="Check Out" onPress={() => handleCheckOut(item._id)} />

          </View>

        )}

      />

    </View>

  );

};


export default CheckOut;

```


### Step 3: Running the Application


1. Start the backend server:

    ```bash

    node server.js

    ```


2. Start the React Native app:

    ```bash

    npx react-native run-android # for Android

    npx react-native run-ios     # for iOS

    ```


### Important Considerations


- **Security**: Ensure that proper authentication and authorization mechanisms are implemented, especially for handling sensitive data in a psychiatric hospital setting.

- **Validation**: Validate visitor details on both backend and frontend to prevent incorrect data submission.

- **Data Compliance**: Adhere to any data compliance requirements, including HIPAA for healthcare settings if applicable.

- **Testing**: Conduct thorough testing of the application to ensure usability and reliability.


### Conclusion


This is a basic outline and sample implementation for a doorman app suitable for a psychiatric hospital. You can expand upon it by adding more features, improving the user interface, and incorporating security measures. Always consult with expert developers and healthcare compliance officers when developing healthcare-related applications.
