Route Handler

@patient_portal_bp.route("/history")
@user_required
def history():
    """View complete appointment history with filters."""
    # Get filter parameters
    filter_status = request.args.get("status", "")
    filter_department = request.args.get("department", "")
    filter_period = request.args.get("period", "all")
    
    # Apply filters to query
    # Calculate statistics
    # Return filtered results

Filter Logic

Status Filter:

if filter_status:
    query = query.filter_by(status=filter_status)

Department Filter:

if filter_department:
    query = query.filter_by(department_id=int(filter_department))

Time Period Filter:

if filter_period == "today":
    query = query.filter(Appointment.appointment_date == today)
elif filter_period == "week":
    week_start = today - timedelta(days=today.weekday())
    query = query.filter(Appointment.appointment_date >= week_start)
# ... etc

Statistics Calculation

# Total appointments
all_appointments = Appointment.query.filter_by(patient_id=patient.id).all()

# Completed count
completed_count = sum(1 for a in all_appointments if a.status == 'completed')

# Upcoming count
upcoming_count = sum(1 for a in all_appointments 
                    if a.appointment_date >= today 
                    and a.status in ['scheduled', 'confirmed', 'waiting'])

# Cancelled count
cancelled_count = sum(1 for a in all_appointments 
                     if a.status in ['cancelled', 'no_show'])
