helpwave scaffold

Your organization, drawn once.

helpwave scaffold is a visual editor for the structure of your healthcare organization — networks, hospitals, practices, clinics, wards, rooms, beds, teams, users and roles. Model it once on the canvas; helpwave id, helpwave tasks and every other connected app inherit it instantly. No more re-typing the same org chart into five systems.

One model. Three apps. Ambulatory & stationary.

Dr. med. Weber sees patients in the Praxis am Markt during the day and covers on-call shifts on ward 4N at Stadtklinik Süd. One node in scaffold — both worlds, automatically.

One source of truth for every system

01

Drag, drop, connect

Pull node types from the palette onto the canvas, name them in place and connect them. The editor keeps the structure a valid DAG — multiple parents are allowed, cycles are not. No code, no spreadsheet — just the picture your organization already has in its head.

02

Built-in healthcare nodes

Networks, hospitals, practices, clinics, wards, rooms, beds, teams, users and roles ship as first-class node types — modelled the way German healthcare actually works, not bolted on from a generic CRM.

03

Powers every helpwave app

helpwave id reads the same tree for SSO and role-based access. helpwave tasks routes work to the right ward, room and team. Any third-party app you connect picks it up over a clean JSON API.

04

Import & export as JSON

Export the entire structure as a scaffold file, version it in Git, diff it across sites, replay it onto a sister hospital. Import to swap in a new structure in one click — perfect for staging, M&A or roll-out across a network.

05

Open source & auditable

The editor lives on GitHub under helpwave/scaffold. Inspect the code, run it locally, contribute node types — and keep your central org model under your own governance.

06

Persistent by default

Your work is saved as you go and restored on the next visit. Iterate the structure with confidence — nothing gets lost between coffee and the next meeting.

Stop maintaining the same org chart in five systems.

Draw your organization once in helpwave scaffold and let every connected app — helpwave id, helpwave tasks, your own tools — work from the same picture.
