Objectives

1. Fully parse and handle all types of basic query parameters (name, gender, address, wildcards, etc.first and last name).
2. Use dynamic/configurable values instead of hard-coded ones for the required message segments.
3. Handle the case of multiple patient matches.
4. Consider using OpenMRS's current HL/7 receiver code/module for receiving the query messages instead of the current method (HTTP POST).

Extra Credit

Extra Credit/Wish List

1. Handle additional types of queries other than just first and last name (address, gender, wildcards).
2. Handle PDQ continuation queries ("give me results 11-20", etc.).
3. Add ability to register a patient.
4. Add the ability to restrict the ability to query to specific institutions only (via configuration options page).

Milestones

• Mid-Term milestones
  1. Remove all hard-coded pieces and use standard HL/7 parsing (HAPI).
  2. Get the module to a point where it can successfully handle a simple query using first and last name and return the appropriate results over HTTP(S).

• Final milestones
  1. Add extra credit/wish list features (see above).
  2. Investigate the possibility of using sockethl7listener module (or similar), or other transport options instead of (or in addition to) HTTP(S).
