Below is an example system architecture diagram for a patient portal.

The Patient Portal Consists of the following components

• Portal Login Page

• User Authentication

• Patient Portal Front-End

• Email Server

• Fillable Web Form

• Patient Database

• Provider Database

The Patient Portal has the following features

• Email Patient Sends patient an email to create patient portal account

• Email Provider Sends provider an email when patient fills out their per-appointment paperwork or checks into their appointment

• Reset Password Allows users to reset their password, whether provider or patient

• Login Allows users to log into the patient portal

• Fill out Pre-Appointment Paperwork Allows patients to fill out required paperwork before their appointment

• Check into appointment Allows patients to check into their appointment

• 2-Factor Authentication Sends user a text message to authenticate their login

• User Verification The application will use unique identifiers such as DOB, SSN, and Name to make sure the patient is not already registered, and prompt them to log into their original account if so

The patient portal will be a web application based on AWS cloud services, as shown below. Since it is used in a healthcare setting and contains sensitive information, it must be compliant with HIPAA, CMS, and all other necessary requirements.
