Agenda

Topic Fest

How are we managing document based data (e.g. documents / hl7)? How do we manage these via HL7? How do we store these data (can we put notes & images into the database)? (Suranga)

2013 After Action Review: What did we expect to happen? What actually happened? What can we do better?

Document based data in OpenMRS

**OpenMRS needs a better way to store structured and unstructured documents**

Related to how we manage complex obs and HL7 messages

A lot of related work already completed by Jembi as part of OpenHIE

Two basic types of data -

1) Simple Notes - Store text notes that links to the patient record in the OpenMRS data model (Discharge summaries, Clinical notes ?)

2) Complex Notes - documents (PDFs, scanned docs) could be stored as a complex note rather than as an observation (a PDF-MIME type)

Complex obs can store documents in the file system, but not a very strong solution. We also need to support structured documents (CDA)

This leads to the possibility of NoSQL databases.

Jembi has built connectors to NoSQL DB's such as raik and baseX

Use of HEIOS for working with XDS documents

Content handler module

Route content of different types to a processor that can store it

Unstructured data storage module

The unstructured data storage module is expected to be able to store unstructured data as a Complex Observation or a Complex Note using complex obs handlers, and save data in databases such as raik and baseX https://wiki.ohie.org/display/SUB/Unstructured+Data+Processing+Module

OMRS vision is that text based notes would be stored as a NOTE(under development)

Vision for encounter was :order, observation, notes, form based data (structured data),

Since CDA are so varied, there can be differnt ways to store them

Minutes

TODO: Implement OpenMRS notes

TODO: Enhance complex obs/note handlers to support searching

TODO: Implement OpenMRS encounter data (for data that doesn't fit into orders, obs, or notes)
