Kim Schouten, a data scientist for the Dutch Healthcare Authority, presents a modular dashboard designed for healthcare regulation. This dashboard enhances user experience while ensuring compliance with privacy laws and accommodating various user types. Collaborating with three organizations, they faced challenges in data sharing due to differing regulations, leading to a modular design that allows tailored access for users. The use of JSON for layout definitions and module communication enhances maintainability and customization. Ultimately, the new dashboard is more content-rich and user-friendly compared to its predecessor.

Modular, layout-as-code approach for customizable Shiny dashboards

💬 Speaker(s): Kim Schouten

📝 Abstract:

To improve government supervision in the healthcare space, we have designed a Shiny dashboard that enables us to adhere to GDPR and other regulations and share different bits of information with different types of stakeholders. For that, we have implemented a ‘layout-as-code’ system where each user can have its own layout of pages and modules, stored as json in the database. Users have the option to drag and drop modules to different locations or change the layout altogether, adding and removing modules as needed!
For developers, this system of loosely coupled modules helps to quickly contribute to the project as a new module needs only a couple of lines of code to integrate it within the framework.
