Day in the life of a nurse

This repository contains several open-source example Power Apps which were created based on a study called 'The Day in the Life of a Nurse'. One of the outcomes were several minimal viable products that could support nurses in their daily job. These starter Power Apps solutions are enhanced with Nuance Speech to Text, and utilize Text Analytics for Health for medical structuring. The data is being served from FHIR API and utilize the FHIRBase and FHIRClinical Power Platform connectors. The application can also be linked to Microsoft Shifts where you can get real-time shift info from your colleagues.
