Introducing Order Entry UI 1.0.0

Order Entry UI is an OpenMRS OWA that enables a user to make (currently) drug orders for a patient. It can be accessed from the patient’s clinicianfacing page using the prescribed medication link.

This is the first release of Order Entry UI; currently, it can only be used when making drug orders. However, the OpenMRS community desire to expand this for other orders.

Known Issues and Problems

Encounter Role and Encounter Type

An encounter role and an encounter type are needed in order to make a POST request for a drug order i.e adding a new drug order, editing an existing active order and discontinuing an active drug order; therefore, they had to be available in the application.

Workaround
The encounter type and encounter role needed were added as global properties as described in this link

 

Time and Date Format

People in different places use different time formats; in this application dates are necessary to show when a drug order was added, edited or discontinued.
