Search Input State Not Reset and feature single doctor (!98) · Merge requests · HealthTech / Medical Camp / eHRS-backend

srilatha bandari requested to merge feat-single-doctor into develop Mar 06, 2026

What does this MR do and why?

This MR addresses two workflow issues identified during the medical camp usage of the eHRS system:

Multiple Doctor Assignment Issue Previously, a patient could be assigned to multiple doctors simultaneously. This caused:
- The same patient appearing in multiple doctor queues
- Confusion among volunteers about consultation ownership
- Inconsistent patient tracking
This MR ensures that a patient can have only one active doctor assignment at a time. If reassigned, the previous assignment is replaced or marked inactive.
Search Input State Not Reset After prescription submission, the Book Number search input field was not clearing automatically. This required manual deletion before entering the next patient’s Book Number, slowing down workflow and increasing the risk of entry errors.

This MR resets the search input state after successful submission to improve efficiency during high patient volume.

Before	After
Patient appears in multiple doctor queues	Patient restricted to one active doctor queue
Book Number remains in search field after submission	Search input auto-clears after submission
