How to get 'real-time' data from db PyQt4

Before I start, I must submit that I am just an intermediate Python developer and so I hope I will not receive any backlash for my question.

I'm building a hospital system using Python and PyQt4 for the client side, which communicates with a Django based server through an API. Multiple clients will be communicating with the server. The system is role based and thus the client displays a different interface for each of the roles e.g patient_registration, triage, doctors_desk etc.

The problem i'm struggling with is how to handle the queuing of patients. Each doctor should be able to view the queued patients from his/her desk. In the db, I have a table patient_queue which handles those records. Displaying the info currently in the table is quite straightforward, however, how I'm I supposed to make any new record that is added to the patient_queue table to appear in the doctors' queue automatically? How can I ensure the doctors have the latest data from the db without having to do something hacky like making the query periodically??

Thank you.

you can use pyqt QSqlTableModel and it can be used as source to widgets like treeview, tableview. First create a database connection. eg sqlite:

db = QtSql.QSqlDatabase.addDatabase('QSQLITE')
db.setDatabaseName('database_name.db')
model = QtSql.QSqlTableModel()
model.setTable('database_table_name')
model.setEditStrategy(QtSql.QSqlTableModel.OnManualSubmit)
model.select()

Here i used tableview. You can use other views such as treeview. 

self.tableView = QtGui.QTableView()
self.tableView.setModel(self.model)
