CareHub - Next.js + Azure Backup Plan

Executive Summary

CareHub is a California Workers' Compensation mental health platform that connects injured workers with psychological evaluation and therapy services. The system manages the full lifecycle from intake through treatment completion, with specific compliance requirements for CA Labor Code 3208.3.

Why This Backup Plan

The original implementation on Blaze.tech proved challenging due to:

• Tedious UI configuration for complex forms
• Limited automation capabilities
• Difficulty implementing custom workflows
• Slow iteration cycles

This backup plan outlines a complete rebuild using Next.js deployed on Azure services, giving full control over the implementation.

System Overview

User Roles

Role	Portal	Description
Care Coordinator	Admin Portal	Manages cases, assigns staff, coordinates care
Member	Member Portal	Injured worker receiving treatment
Psychologist	Psych Portal	Conducts evaluations, creates care plans
LPCC	LPCC Portal	Provides ongoing therapy sessions
System Admin	Admin Portal	User management, system configuration

Core Workflows

1. INTAKE FLOW
   Claim Referral → Create Case → Send Intake Form → Member Completes → AI Analysis

2. EVALUATION FLOW
   Psychologist Assigned → Review Intake → Conduct Evaluation → Create Care Plan →
   Determine Causation → Transfer to LPCC (or Keep)

3. TREATMENT FLOW
   LPCC Assigned → Schedule Sessions → Document Sessions → Track Progress →
   Request Extensions → Discharge at MMI

4. COMPLIANCE FLOW
   Causation Analysis → GAF Scoring → MMI Determination → Generate Reports

Key Differentiators

1. AI-Powered Clinical Support

   • Intake analysis with risk assessment
   • Session transcript summarization
   • Care plan suggestions
   • Progress assessment

2. California WC Compliance

   • Causation analysis (Industrial vs Non-Industrial)
   • MMI tracking
   • GAF scoring
   • PR-2/PR-4/RFA document generation

3. Member Engagement

   • Daily/weekly check-ins
   • Progress visualization
   • Mobile-optimized interface
