Notes

Last week: talked about Transactional REST; no action items to follow up on.

  • (Big) Responsive UI (using Bootstrap or similar)

  • (Big) New/Improved Sections/Components for patient dashboard

  • Build some new Sections/Components (e.g. "most recent obs by concept", or graphs)

  • Improved dev and implementer experience for building/configuring these

  • (Small) Visitless encounters

  • (Small) Ability to run reports from the patient dashboard

Patient Matching

  • Current usage

  • Some usage/plans with AMPATH

  • Did some bug fixes and planning in 2016 (To make it run on 1.11.6)

  • Planned GSoC 2017 project

  • Incremental patient matching

  • Improving manual review process (avoid presenting previously reviewed/decided matches)

  • A Bahmni implementation evaluated it, but "it didn't perform well and had quite a few bugs. We only use patient merging  from openmrs legacy UI."

  • Would like to have some "out of the box" functionality to do basic patient matching

  • Name (soundex), gender, date of birth (exact match for non-estimated & month-match for estimated), ±person attributes

  • i.e. you install the module, you get something minimally useful without having to do any config

  • Making a RESTful API to perform basic functions (eventually all functions)

  • Consider option to stop matching early if there are hundreds of matches or filtering out unusually high matching groups

  • Identify another product owner (e.g. for successful GSoC project)

  • Mozambique interested (Willa)
