Hello List,
I am investigating the possibility to use icalserver to store medical
appointments.
This means either:
- a physician (a user of the calendar)
- a patient
- a given day and time
or
- a resource (XRay material, etc...)
- a patient
- a given day and time
Now, I have two problems:
1)
It looks like I can only have participants which come from
AddressBook. In my situation, participants are patients and come from
a central database. They are identified by a GUUID. Obviously, I need
to be able to search for all events for a given patient or add an
event for a patient. Patients can't be users (I may have thousands of
them).
How would you do this from the Cocoa API? Or, if not possible from the
Cocoa API, is this possible some other way through the CalDAV protocole?
Maybe it is not as "participants" but as some additional info I should
register a patient for an event?
2)
It looks like I can't register through iCal an event with only a
resource and a participant. I need a user. However, if a patient comes
for an XRay, I know he will be using a given resource (the XRay
machine), I know the patient, but the technician who will be in charge
of handling the XRay is unknown (or at least, not important at that
stage of setting up the appointment).
I need to be able to know where there is still room with a resource
for a given exam. And as for question 1, I need to be able to search
for all future exams for a given patient or add an exam for a patient.
Again, how can I do this through the Cocoa API? Or, if not possible,
through the CalDAV protocole.
Thanks for any hint,
Alexander
