Overview
There are many activities within a healthcare information system which benefit from automation. For example: daily clinic reports might need to be generated the morning before a clinic opening, decision support rules might need to be run over a patient group once every week, or healthcare data coming in from outside sources might need to be analyzed every 30 mins. To give end implementations the flexibility to define these sorts of automated conveniences, the OpenMRS community has added scheduler functionality to the core software application. The OpenMRS scheduler (based on the JDK Timer) currently supports executing tasks on regular basis (i.e. a task will execute every X seconds, minutes, hours, days). However, there's no way to schedule a task to recur at a particular time every week. The data model supports this type of feature (start time and repeat interval), but we need to add some logic to the Scheduler to handle triggering these tasks to occur at exact times.
