Abstract
The aim of this project is to provide the ability for users to mark commonly-used data entry forms as favorites.
Context
Most hospitals that use Bahmni see a very wide range of patients, and thus they have many different data collection forms specific to different medical problems (ranging from HIV to Diabetes to Prenatal Care, and more). As this list of available forms grows, picking them in the user interface gets cumbersome.
Most individual doctors use a smaller set of forms most of the time. If we allow each user to mark some forms as favorite, and show these first, we will save time. Even ten seconds that the doctor doesn't have to spend searching a list in the UI when they're seeing a patient is very valuable.
Details
You access the Form Entry screen in Bahmni by going to the Clinical EMR application and then going to Clinical => (Select patient) => Consultation => Add New Obs Form.
In this project you would make the following changes to that screen:
1. The button for each form should have a star icon; clicking on this toggles whether the form is a favorite for this user
2. The forms popup should have two tabs, one for Favorites, and one for All Forms.
See this doc for sample mockups of what this would look like in the app.
On the back end we should add a REST web service to make it easy for the AngularJS application to set/unset and list favorite forms.
Under the hood we might be able to store these using OpenMRS's User.userProperties field, however those are limited in value to only 255 characters, so we will either need to modify OpenMRS to make that field longer, or introduce a new Java domain object that lets us store these.
Project Champions
Skills Needed
- Java & Javascript (especially AngularJS
- Experience working with RESTful Web Services
Objectives
Adding front-end functionality to a large mature AngularJS application.
Adding a back-end REST web service to an OpenMRS module that exposes an existing Java API in a more convenient way.
