Integration Points

Phase 2.1 ↔ Phase 2.2

# Analytics queries from database
with get_connection() as conn:
    cur = conn.cursor()

    # Pass results to analytics dashboard

Phase 2.2 ↔ Phase 2.3

# Export analytics as FHIR Observation
observation = builder.build_observation(
    patient_id,
    code="analytics-summary",
    value=metrics_value
)
manager.send_observation_to_ehr(patient_id, observation)

Phase 2.3 ↔ Phase 2.4

// Mobile app syncs FHIR data
const patient = await carePlanService.getPatient(patientId);
const conditions = await fhirService.getConditions(patientId);
// Display in mobile UI

Mobile ↔ Web

// Same API endpoints used by web and mobile
API_BASE_URL/api/v1/chat/send

Scaling Considerations

Horizontal Scaling

• Load Balancer: NGINX, HAProxy
• Multiple Web Servers: Run app_phase2.py on multiple instances
• Database Replication: PostgreSQL primary-replica setup
• Cache Layer: Redis for chat history caching

Vertical Scaling

• Database: Increase connection pool (max=50)
• Server: Increase CPU/RAM
• Storage: Additional PostgreSQL storage

Database Optimization

• Partitioning: By date for chat_history
• Archival: Old analytics_events to archive
• Sharding: By patient_id if multi-tenant

---

Monitoring & Alerting

Metrics to Monitor

- Database connections (active/idle)
- Chat API response time
- FHIR sync success rate
- Mobile app crash rate
- Push notification delivery
- Backup completion status
- Disk usage
- Memory usage

Recommended Tools

• Prometheus: Metrics collection
• Grafana: Metrics visualization
• New Relic: APM monitoring
• Sentry: Error tracking
• DataDog: Infrastructure monitoring
