GSoC 2026: Service Queues — Progress So Far

Community GSoC
4

Week 10

Mostly review follow-up this week, but three new PRs went up, all surfaced while going back through older work rather than from new tickets, plus a design out for community feedback.

  • content-referenceapplication-demo#79 (merged) — Wires the three privileges from queue#118 onto the demo’s existing roles (Doctor/Nurse → Clinician, Registration Clerk → Clerk, System Administrator → Clinic Administrator), so the Week 7 privilege-gated view has something real to check against in a deployment.

  • queue#120 (merged) — Fixes O3-5760: QueueUtils.computeAverageWaitTimeInMinutes guarded against an empty entry list but not against a non-empty list where nothing had actually finished waiting yet, leaving the denominator at zero and the average wait time metric rendering NaN. Now returns null instead, which the frontend already handles gracefully.

  • patient-chart#3509 (open) — Fixes O3-5763: VisitNotesForm pulled its visit context from usePatientChartStore, which only the patient chart populates. Launched from Service Queues, visitContext came back null, and the backend’s fallback visit-assignment logic picked a visit, not necessarily the one being viewed. Splits the form the way the vitals form already handles this, taking visitContext explicitly as a prop and exporting it as a reusable workspace.

Also put together a design for a dedicated Clinic Administrator screen and posted it for community feedback — a clinic-wide monitoring view, addressing O3-5770, that shows every queue at a glance instead of one at a time. It’s the natural next step after Week 7’s privilege model.
