Abstract

The OpenMRS Household Module (https://wiki.ampath.or.ke/display/ampath/Household+Module) allows a Household to be represented as a type data element in OpenMRS, thereby allowing encounters to be stored for households. This is useful for projects or studies where the household is the key element for population enumeration for example. Since different projects or studies may define a "household" differently, this project proposes (credit to Burke Mamlin for  for the idea!) to create cohort-level encounters and observations. One could then model Using this approach we could,

• Model a household as a cohort

...

• Support the added flexibility of defining different cohorts (e.g. an arm of study or a group receiving a certain type of treatment)

...

• adding encounters and observations for entire Cohorts.

This functionality has applications in several areas in health research and delivery.

Requirements

• Satisfactory Java, Spring and Hibernate skills
• Familiarity with the OpenMRS data model
