This project is assigned to the OpenMRS 1.9 release milestone |
Background
Historically, encounters within OpenMRS only have allowed a single provider. In many instances, there is more than one provider involved in an encounter. For example, both a doctor and a nurse involved in an outpatient encounter or multiple surgeons involved in a surgical encounter. The goal of supporting multiple providers per encounter is to allow for these people to be documented and connected to the encounter, including their role(s) within the encounter.
...
- Is person_id required or optional?
- Required -- a person record must exist for every provider
- Optional -- providers can be loaded without referring to a person (would require base demographics in provider table: name, identifier)
- Where to put provider identifier(s)? Do we wait for (or depend on) having person identifier?
- Is codifying encounter role overkill?
