Minutes

• Organization Update

  • Nonprofit

    • Moving forward with RI to catch every one up to speed with our specific intentions

    • Still completing individual phone calls for OpenMRS vision statement

  • Online Presence

    • Burke working with Michael Downey to get more memory on virtual machine

      • More memory means considering the transition over to JIRA

      • Goal is to have transition fully operational within one month

      • Michael is creating updates on WorkPress site

• Road Map

  • 1.8 and 1.9

    • We are starting to move in front of the design for each

    • Continue to identify what will be included and excluded from each version

  • Hospital Information Systems

    • Discussion occurred over what we mean by "support" for hospital systems

      • On the road map people identified this as a priority

      • Plan is to ask community/users what specifically they are looking for

      • Hamish spoke with Richard Gakuba in Rwanda about hospital systems and the ability to use OpenMRS as a desktop EMR project, eventually looking towards a point where doctors can do direct data entry

  • Mobile Data Collection

    • As we work with more community health interfaces, we need to address metadata issues about how to assign families or data to families rather than individuals

      • This is in reference to a case when a home visit is made to the entire family and making the data during this visit easier to record

    • Additional ideas:

      • Have the ability to design forms from the OMRS side and having ways to collect those on multiple and different devices

      • Creating a way to interact with data on mobile device rather than just collecting the data (ie. having the ability to review previous data)

    • Suggestions:

      • OMRS is doing something to help those data collection tools to work with OMRS

      • We need an idea of what the mobile community needs

      • What is the essential workflow for a scenario that we want to support

  • 17 June 2010

    • Hamish will provide more conversation about the hospital information system

    • Andy will revisit the mobile data collection piece

• Invitation to International Free Software Forum

  • Ben received an invitation to this conference

    • The group will look into the possibility of funding and attendance
