Key Concepts

​
Pages vs Components

Pages are routable components that represent full views in the application:
  • DashboardComponent - Main landing page
  • PatientsListComponent - Patient directory
  • PatientDetailComponent - Individual patient view
  • MessagesComponent - Messaging interface
Pages are located in src/app/pages/

​
Services

Services manage application state and API communication: 
// Example: PatientService
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class PatientService {
  private patients$ = new BehaviorSubject<Patient[]>([]);
  
  getPatients(): Observable<Patient[]> {
    return this.patients$.asObservable();
  }
  
  getPatientById(id: string): Patient | undefined {
    return this.patients$.value.find(p => p.id === id);
  }
}

​
Routing

The application uses Angular Router with the following main routes:
RouteComponentDescription
/dashboardDashboardComponentMain dashboard
/patientsPatientsListComponentPatient list
/patients/:idPatientDetailComponentPatient detail
/messagesMessagesComponentMessaging
/alertsAlertsComponentAlert management
/risk-scoringRiskDashboardComponentRisk analytics
/care-teamCareTeamDashboardComponentTeam collaboration
/settingsSettingsComponentOrganization settings
