This module provides the ability for users to define customizable their own, customized patient summaries. It provides a clean separation between the underlying data to present , and the actual format of the resulting summary, enabling users to create several different output documents depending on the circumstance. For example, on output summary might be appropriate for a mobile device, another might be for display in-line on the patient dashboard, and yet another might be a printable PDF.

Status

This module is currently under initial development. The current master code branch is located at https://github.com/mseaton/openmrs-module-patientsummary, but the intention is to move it to https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-patientsummary.

There are 2 other patient summary modules in the eco-system that I have found. One, named the Clinical Summary module, is located here: Clinical Summary Module, and by all accounts is an AMPATH-specific patient summary module. The other, located in here: The patientsummary module builds upon (and depends upon) the reporting module, leveraging the power of that framework for computing data and rendering output. Although we are working to provide a user experience that hides as much of the underlying complexity of the reporting module as possible, there still may be areas where the reporting module user interface is used to perform a particular activity. We expect to minimize this in future versions of the module.

The patientsummary module version has undergone a major re-write in the 2.0 release line. The 1.x release line of this module (available in svn under http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs-modules/patientsummary/ is a PIH Rwanda-specific HIV Patient Summary module that is not actively supported. The intention is for the latter of these to be replaced by an alternative version based on this new patient summary module.) contains very limited functionality that provides a single hard-coded HIV patient summary, mainly targeted at the PIH Rwanda Implementation. The 2.0 release is not intending to provide backwards-compatibility to the 1.0 version, but rather to provide the framework within which the 1.0 version can be re-defined using new configurable constructs. Stay tuned for more details on plans for merging these two versions over time.

Getting Started

Building a Patient Summary in 3 simple steps

  1. Define the data points that you want to make available
  2. Define a Patient Summary Report Definition containing the relevant data points
  3. Define a Patient Summary Template that defines how your patient summary should look

Viewing a Patient Summary

There are a couple of options:

  1. Preview your summary as you author it
  2. Preview your summary using the preview page
  3. Enable display of your patient summary via the patient dashboard, and view it there

Reporting bugs and requesting new features

All new feature requests and bug reports can be raised in [JIRA|https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/PS}.
