Oct 1, 2024October 2024 highlights for nhsuk/manage-vaccinations-in-schools: delivered data-import robustness, enhanced patient data workflows, and improved search/UX to boost data integrity and operational efficiency. Key features include a generic ImportIssues framework with duplicates handling and unified import issue reporting across class list, cohort, vaccination, and patient imports; expanded Patient Import to propagate school and cohort IDs with staged changes for cohort/class imports; added with_pending_changes scope to track pending patient edits; type-aware immunisation import routes; decrypted patient name fields with search capabilities; and a revamped patient search experience using Turbo, autosubmit, and POST for the search endpoint. Additional UX/data improvements include Breadcrumbs UI polish and a basic programme patients view. Critical fixes addressed environment-specific data creation (Do not create Nurse Joy’s org on CIS2) and notification safety (Don't update ConsentNotifications if no sessions). These changes collectively improve data integrity, onboarding speed, user productivity, and operational safety, while showcasing Rails, Turbo, secure data handling, and import/staging patterns.
