Separate RefApp software releases from Content releases → means demo data will need to be bundled separately, available like an Add On, and versioned

Upgrade OpenMRS.org with better content and more modern UI.

Often, pharmacies (especially at smaller sites) do not have a particular drug or drugs that the patient needs. In this case, the Pharmacist needs to print the prescription so the patient can take this to a different public or private pharmacy to receive that drug.

Make OpenMRS-collected data easier to use for Researchers and Program Decision Makers. (1) Translate OpenMRS to the OMOP Common Data Model and (2) set up a re-useable tooling pipeline for data to be extracted.

Swagger Docs Update: Updating this to use latest version of Swagger, to make more useful → Gives reliable docs for devs on what our REST API can do (instead of maintaining manual docs, auto-generate a library)

Retrospective Data Entry to enable management and editing of past visits & encounters, chart corrections, etc., in O3 UI.

Status:

See Billing Squad details on the Squad Dashboard.

See Inventory Squad details on the Squad Dashboard.

Bring into 1 place all config & devops & dev & setup docs. Make easy to find.  

Backend done; UI in progress. We previously had no auditing around views, or changes: if a form was filled out multiple times, we'd only have information on the first time and the most recent update.

Talk Thread: https://talk.openmrs.org/t/new-audit-log-system-for-openmrs-seeking-feedback-and-suggestions/43137

3.x UI to order Referrals, Procedures, and Materials in the order basket.

UI to manage location and status of patients across beds in wards, including Moms/Babies, and multiple patients in 1 bed.

Ongoing fixes and improvements to the new O3 Form Builder GUI; Substantial refactoring to simplify and improve codebase. Adding Markdown editing. Epic here. 

Pt lookup on Registration page. National ID / HIE / CR Client Registry / MPI Master Patient Index system integration via FHIR Protocol.

Todo: Backend Module & right API

implemented ability to change a range depending on a given variable (eg age, sex) in flexible way; can be done with bare minimum change of data model. Also implemented in our data model FHIR’s obs reference ranges which enables OpenMRS to receive reference ranges from an LIS system (instead of disregarding this). Obs Interpretation: Based on those ref ranges, can apply whether this is Normal, Low, Critically High, etc. This is now part of the data stored in the DB. Overall this means that Pediatric and Elderly lab/vitals range differences now supported, warning flags now supported better.

In the patient chart, when you go into “Past Visits”, that list can be slow to load. Jayasanka is working to improve this.

Ozone team is open-sourcing the integration between OpenMRS and Superset.

Automating: QA Release build, run E2E tests on all repos when esm-core is released, stricter typechecking. To Do: Test with 3.2-rc, then update O3 Release Guide Docs.

Use MPI integration to find and record patients, and exchange health records through central DB(s). May involve tracking patient consent for data-sharing.

Order Template Modelling E.g. Common Rx's 

GitHub Example

Interested: UCSF, PIH, Mekom

Support for Sets of anything that's order-able (e.g. COVID assessment set can contain Meds, Labs, Referrals...)

Interested: PIH, Mekom, Sonder, OpenMRS Inc, FAIMER

Clinical Views

Ability to add specialized program- or condition-specific views. Ideally, able to update config easily to add more - e.g. represent clinical view w/ JSON structure. 

Generic Encounter Widget 

Reuseable version of a common widget, powered by config that's easily editable (e.g. if you want to change columns & data shown in a table)

Orgs:

IPD Requirements Gathering

Collecting further requirements for inpatient care, e.g. Bed Mgmt, MAR.

Offline EMR Use (No Internet/Power Loss)

OpenMRS Reporting UI

Create a UI that would be able to run an existing report with parameters (if applicable), select the output format and download it

Currently the DD Module causes slow startup times because of how patients are being created & data loaded. Idea: Generate the data once in it's own docker container instead of generating every time we start an instance. Largely coming from appointments module. The real fix is content packages, so we can remove the Demo Data from the base distro so everyone doesn't have to run the Demo Data when they start up the application. (Only 50 pts, but slows down startup by ~10 minutes; additional errors coming from Bahmni Telecom module)

Remove because this feature is significantly underused and slow (it's faster to stop, add an OMOD, and re-start your instance than it is to upload an OMOD on-the-fly at run time), and because the OMOD upload fx has security implications. The hope years ago was that Spring support would make this a more stable, performant feature, but this didn't happen, and it is very underused.

In order for the EMR-distro vs HIS-distro vision to work, the way data is served-up to the frontend needs to work smoothly & function the same way - otherwise neither application will be sustainable (especially with HIS-Lite fx being added to the EMREM🔥R-distro like Billing, Inventory, Labs, and Data Viz). Plan is for a FHIR-based approach.

Bulk Retrospective Data Entry is regressed and unuseable in the O3 EMR distro. Very helpful for RDE so should be resurrected.

• Dealing with concept overlaps, i.e. the same concept being a bit different in 2 different packages

Show & recommend specific forms based on information about Patient or Program Enrollment (eg show ANC forms for ANC visits); likely specified via Form Schema & executed via Form Engine. Very challenging engineering - would need context, workflow engine. In meantime the Tabbed Table Component from OHRI helps meet this user need to some degree. Future ideal is "If patient is [obs] = X and [visit type] = Y, then show these foms".

"Prevent Pt Duplicates" flow in Registration Page. Possibly should include merging pts. Should leverage pt-duplicate-detector in core.

e.g. Notifications between team members (within UX of System wide / Global notifications; for 1 user but not about 1 patient)

Patient Lists: Automated (Cohort Builder)

(1) Query for patients who meet a certain criteria, and (2) automated adding/removing of patients from this list (so it's automatically maintained). 

E.g. "show me all Patients who missed med pick up..."

E.g. "show me all Patients who missed their appointment..." 

+ Actions on that list (e.g. change patient status)

Palladium recommends this OMOD be reviewed as it becomes key in CDS / patient flag calcs and reporting.

Currently not obvious in UI and underutilized.

OCL OpenMRS Import feature

An answer (and clear documentation) to "How do I get my legacy metadata into OCL?"

"Here's what will change" UX/UI when subscribing. (Possible GSOC Project)

Map OpenMRS Order statuses to FHIR

Send a case report from OMRS system to a central repo. 

Using 3.x RefApp, UW DIGI checked for areas where REST API is being used where FHIR either could be used or needs support (Doc Here)

Goal: Demo a form that’s defined and rendered through mappings (not UUIDs). Eg if a country maps to OHRI concepts → Need ability to map

A sample integration, both flow and tech, that implementers can easily re-use. Working ad-hoc with CHT Lead Architect on this.  

Event bus so that when things happen, they trigger a new process(es) to start. (e.g. patient finishes visit, needs to be moved from one Service Delivery Queue to another) - see OHRI example outlined here re Patient State vs Workflow State 

Ian has a vision of having a Demo version of the RefApp that, in addition to using an OMRS DB, also pulls data from an external demo FHIR store. This would create something similar to the his-distro, but specifically for showcasing FHIR interoperability, such as IPS data exchange.

• Test Automation coverage requirements tool in progress to make it easier to write tests for our code. Should make it easier to write unit tests. Slow grind being done by Ian.
