Excerpt

Any self-respecting medical record (EMR) system needs to be able to track patient conditions (what is often called the patient's "Problem List").  We have chosen "Condition" instead of "Problem" to align with contemporary thinking (e.g., since "Pregnancy" isn't really a "Problem" for most people).  OpenMRS RefApp needs Condition Lists. This functionality exists in Bahmni-style OpenMRS. 

What is a Condition List?  It is a chronic condition which is important for all clinical care of the patient and lasts 3 months or more.  Chronic conditions include NCDs (Diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy, depression, asthma, COPD, arthritis, etc), cancers, infectious diseases (HIV, Hepatitis), and pregnancy.  This wiki page provides additional information. 

Initial development of this module was already completed (See here).  This project must be completed before it can be used.  There was a great start during the OMRS17 Hackathon in Malawi.

This would be implemented by Partners In Health (Haiti and other locations) when MVP (minimum viable product) is completed and tested.  Other implementations are bound to use this when version 1 is completed.
