The Telehealth Scheduling Project represents a comprehensive digital transformation initiative for Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital, evolving from legacy Excel-based room booking systems to a modern, enterprise-grade Microsoft Power Platform solution. The project encompasses the development of a sophisticated PowerApps canvas application with 18 screens, 154 reusable components, and over 186,000 lines of Power Fx code, integrated with SharePoint data architecture and Power Automate workflows to serve multiple hospital buildings across the VA healthcare network.

Currently in version 0.1.3 of pre-release development, the system is 85% complete in its technical foundation with operational core functionality supporting telehealth room reservations, manager approval workflows, and role-based security controls. The project targets September 2025 for full production deployment (v1.0.0), with immediate priorities focused on SharePoint schema optimization, Power Automate flow testing, and user acceptance testing coordination to ensure seamless integration within the VA Government Cloud environment while maintaining HIPAA compliance and supporting 50+ concurrent users across six hospital locations.
