The challenge

What was going wrong

A care provider relied on its patient portal for booking, test results and messages. Patients kept asking for more, and the small internal team could not keep up. The backlog grew, and urgent fixes pushed out planned improvements.

Healthcare adds hard limits. New engineers must understand patient privacy rules and work with systems that exchange data using standards like FHIR. The client needed people who could start quickly without weakening those controls.

Our approach

How we worked it out

  1. 1

    Understand the gaps

    We reviewed the backlog and the current team with the engineering manager to see which skills were missing and which work could safely be handed over.

  2. 2

    Match and vet engineers

    We proposed engineers with healthcare and web experience. The client interviewed each one and approved them before anyone gained access to systems.

  3. 3

    Onboard into the team

    New engineers joined the client chat, stand-ups and code review. They followed privacy training and access rules like any employee.

  4. 4

    Adjust as needs change

    We reviewed the arrangement regularly with the manager and added or reduced engineers as the backlog and priorities moved.

What we built

The solution

  • Vetted remote engineers

    Developers with healthcare web experience joined the client team.

  • Privacy-first onboarding

    Access was limited by role and covered by the same training as staff.

  • Embedded in team routines

    Stand-ups, reviews and releases followed the client process exactly.

  • Flexible team size

    The number of engineers was adjusted as the work changed.

What changed

The results

  • Backlog under control

    Long-waiting portal requests were built and released instead of sitting in a queue.

  • Core team kept its focus

    Internal engineers stayed on integrations and planning rather than firefighting small requests.

  • Fast start with low risk

    New engineers became productive quickly while privacy and access rules stayed intact.

Technology

What it was built with

  • React Component-based user interfaces for web apps.
  • TypeScript Typed JavaScript that catches mistakes before release.
  • Node.js JavaScript runtime for fast web services and APIs.
  • PostgreSQL Dependable database for complex business data.
  • Azure Microsoft cloud hosting and services.
