It’s always been slow for me, and it doesn’t feel that accessible (text is hard to read etc.). A quick upgrade and refresh might make it a lot smoother for people. If we wanted to go more fancy with it, it could have a dashboard page just for hospitals to display in their ERs, like they do (did?) at MSJ.
I know BC has a Github with open source projects, and this seems like a relatively simple upgrade if we knew what the API / data source was. I’m noticing some AJAX & jquery. Could something like Vue/Nuxt work as a replacement? The pages could be rendered server side, and then every 5 minutes it could be refreshed with the new data.
