What this module does
This module embeds a Notifiable Condition Detector (NCD) inside the OpenMRS instance as a separate server thread. The NCD processes HL7 messages sent to a port specified by a global property, looking for messages with segments that indicate medical conditions of interest to agencies such as the CDC. For each such message segment, the NCD creates a Patient, an Encounter, and a group of obs recording the details of the detected condition.
Further NCD also constantly monitors the data being entered into an OpenMRS installation. Incoming data is matched against a pattern or critic, and when data is entered that matches certain conditions it is deemed a notifiable condition and the NCD module takes a predefined action.
