C4 Online Clinic System Context Diagram

C4 System Context for an Online Clinic

This C4 system context diagram puts the online clinic system at the center and deliberately stays at the broadest architectural level. Patients, clinicians and clinic administrators are the people who use it. Calendar, video, messaging and health-records services are external software systems it relies on. This is the right drawing for a stakeholder conversation about scope, ownership and integration boundaries; it is not a deployment diagram or a database design. The next C4 level would replace the central system with containers such as a web application, API and data store. Add insurers, pharmacies, identity providers or analytics systems only when their relationship is important to the system boundary.
