Multiple groups (MoHs, NGOs, US and UK government, etc) are setting up Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs) in urban and rural areas of Ebola-affected countries. These health facilities are organized to quarantine infected patients during their treatment, and suspects while they are being evaluated. These ETUs generally feature multiple tents with beds, and zones divided by fences. Infected patients are in the "hot red zone", and any materials that enter that zone may not be brought out (to the "green zone"), and must be incinerated. Healthcare workers rounding on patients in the hot red zone are wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including triple gloves and goggles, and are only allowed to spend a limited amount of time in one round through the hot red zone.
Vision & OpenMRS Role
...

- Ebola Patient Overview (interactive)
- Ebola Clinical Summary (read-only)
- Specific Forms
- Volunteers can build specific forms based on the CIEL dictionary so that MoH or partners can just take these
- Labs
- Order Lab Tests
- Enter Lab Results (from patient overview +/- in bulk)
- Display Lab Results in Overview/Summary
- Patient Flow
- Admin Tool to manage sub-locations in the facility (e.g. Observation and Hot Red Zone tents)
- Record admissions, transfers, and discharges
- Overview of ward assignments
- Program Management and Evaluation
- Summary Reports
- Exports
- Contacts
- Basic listing of contacts
- Missing core functionality
- User Account management

- Simplified data recording (e.g. question-per-screen with big friendly buttons)
- Interoperability
- Automated submission of data to DHIS2
- Export lists of contacts to a mobile system for contact tracing.
