titleThis version is not yet released

Reference Application 2.89.0  is a release of our new Reference Application, a state of the art implementation of OpenMRS, which may serve as a solid base for new implementations. It is designed using the latest UI 3.x and App Framework, which make it easy to add new functionality as small apps in a similar fashion to mobile applications. The Reference Application comes with a number of apps out of the box. Currently we provide apps, which enable you to:

  • register Register patients
  • start Start and end visits
  • list List patients with active visits
  • admitAdmit/transfer/discharge patients
  • take Take clinical notes
  • capture Capture patient vitals
  • display Display patient summary and visit history.
  • capture Capture allergies
  • Enter forms from the patient dashboard

...

  • Patient request/scheduling appointment
  • Patient's condition list
  • Dispense medication
  • Attach patient note

Features

As mentioned previously the Reference Application is built of small apps. There are a couple of apps provided out of the box and we expect to improve them and increase their number over time. The apps that come with the Reference Application focus on basic functionality. They are designed and developed in a way that satisfies as many use cases as possible and also can be adjusted to specific needs. In this paragraph we will describe features that come with the Reference Application and their configuration options.

...

You can login as a system developer with full privileges by giving the default username admin and password Admin123. You also need to select Location for this session. (For more details see here.) Locations are configurable from Advanced Administration - Manage locations. In order for a location to appear on a login screen you need to open it up and select a checkbox next to the Login location tag.

...

The Reference Application is partially translated into several languages. (To see how to contribute translations, or just see the current status, see Translating the Reference Application.)

Each user account has a "default locale" that is applied when they log in. The administrator can set this when creating a user account, or a user can change it on their own from My Account (under their username in the header):

...

If you want to integrate the Address Hierarchy Module or add custom person attributes, you can find directions for Registration App Configuration.

...

A diagnosis that was entered as free-text is displayed in quotes. Each kind of diagnosis is displayed only once. See also Visit Notes.

Vitals

The box shows the last captured vitals. See also Capture Vitals.

...

Note: You can now add custom forms in the actions section.  See Manage Forms to add your own action items.

...

The form for entering visit notes is accessible from Patient Summary and Patient Visits. It is listed under Current Visits Actions.

 


First you enter a primary diagnosis by starting to type in the Add presumed or confirmed diagnosis field. It has an auto-suggest feature which finds diagnosis concepts, but also has the Non-coded selection with the value you entered. You need to pick from the auto-suggest list to add the diagnosis, which then appears on the right under Primary Diagnosis. If you repeat these steps, your selections will appear under Secondary Diagnoses.

...

A patient can be admitted, discharged or transferred from Patient Summary or Patient Visits under Current Visit Actions.

 


Locations can be configured from System Administration - Advanced Administration - Manage Locations. You need to have a location marked with the Visit location tag, which has children marked with the Admission location or Transfer location tags.

...

Under the Configure Metadata screen, there is now a new app to "Manage Forms".  It is possible to add custom forms to the new user interface without any custom programming!  When you initially enter Manage Forms, it shows you a list of forms that exist in the system.  Obviously, before you can configure where a custom form will appear in the system, you must create the form.  Both HTML and XForms are supported, but they must be created through the legacy user interface, under System Administration - Advanced Administration.

 


After you've created your custom form that you want to add to the new user interface / patient dashboard, you can click "Add" in the UI column next to the form name, as seen in the screenshot above.  Clicking "Add" opens up the configuration screen for that form.

 


There is a rich user interface for configuring metadata i.e add, create, retire/void, restore and delete metadata, as seen above you can also configure where and how your form will appear.  Let's discuss these settings individually.

...

Show If - Do you want to display the form only if the patient has certain characteristics?  Perhaps you would only want a maternal health form to be visible on the patient dashboard of a female patient.  You would use something like "patient.person.gender=='F' && patient.person.birthdate < '2001-01-01T00:00:00.000+0000' && patient.person.dead==false".  Or show if males with an active visit "visit.active && patient.person.gender=='M' ". Or show if the patient has a current visit and they are currently admitted, "visit.active && visit.admitted". For more information on what properties are available, see the Conditionally displaying Apps and Extensions page.

If you are replacing a built-in form, with a new custom form, you can view the configuration of the integrated forms in the source code.

...

This allows implementers to add or remove applications to/from the system without having to build a module. This is done by configuring a JSON definition.  For more information see System Administration: Manage Apps.

Viewing And Managing Accounts

In the reference applications, user and provider accounts are linked to a person record and are managed from the same page. From the home page navigate to the account listing page by clicking System Administration -> Manage Accounts as seen in the screenshot above to view all the accounts.

 


  •  To add a new account, from the account listing page, click on the 'Add New Account'  button, fill the form and save.
  •  To Edit an existing account, from the account listing page click the pencil icon beside the account you wish to edit.

...

Note: Some Setting (formerly Global Property from 1.8 downwards) values are truncated to fit in the allocated space, clicking the pencil icon should take you to the edit screen from where you can see the entire value. On the listing page, hovering over the name cell should display the description also.

New Features

  • Built-In Reports

    What this module does

    Built-in reports OWA provides basic reporting and give some insight into your data in Reference Application distribution. Data can be seen visually how they have spread and it gives an overview about the present data.

    Currently there are some basic reports available. If anyone wants to add more sophisticated reports, it's really easy and there are some common components that can be reused from the OWA when it  comes to displaying the data.

    Documentation / How-To

    You need to have the Reference Metadata module 2.7.0 or higher installed in your OpenMRS server. This module includes the report definitions which the built-in reports OWA is being displaying. 

    Currently there are 10 basic reports have configured. 

    • Number or Visits
    • Number of Patient Registrations
    • Number of Admissions per service area
    • Number of Transfers per service area
    • Number of Discharges per service area
    • Number of Visit Notes
    • List of Diagnosis’s made and quantity
    • List of Providers (grouped by active/retired)
    • List of Users (grouped by active/retired)
    • List of new Patient Registrations

    You can see those reports under Administration -> Manage Report Definitions -> Report Administration once you install the Reference Metadata module 2.7.0 or higher.

    After ensuring that the reports are properly configured with the Reference Metadata module installation, you can upload the  openmrs-owa-built-in-reports to your OpenMRS server.

    Then you can open up the owa from Administration -> Open Web Apps Module -> Manage Apps  -> Built In Reports.

    More MetaData Management in Admin UI

    OpenMRS Legacy Module contains a lot of administrative functionalities which are needed to manage the reference application. Most of this administrative functionalities contain a legacy model and less experience to the users. So OpenMRS Community wanted to migrate those administrative features to the Modern Open web app view.

    More Metadata Management in AdminUI project is one of those projects which are designed to migrate some of these administrative functionalities to the modern open web app view. In the More Meta data Management in AdminUI project, We focused on this following functionalities,
    1. Manage Modules - This feature will be used to manage the modules in the OpenMRS reference application.
    2. System Information - This feature will be used to display the System information about the OpenMRS server and the system.
    3. Manage Scheduler - This feature will be used to manage the tasks in the OpenMRS reference application.

    These features are implemented as Open Web Apps with the modern view to the users.
