<html><head><title></title></head><body>* Dealing with temporal data

  •  

    • obs.obs_datetime should contain the date that the observation occurred — e.g., the time when the observation was actually "observed"

    • obs.value_datetime is used for dates as an answer to a date-related concept

  • Can obs have answers that are coded and free text

    • use two concepts ("OTHER" as an answer to the original question and another concept to supply the free text answer)

  • Vibha's topics

  • Sunsetting obs.value_boolean

  • Scaling up

    • Ideally, each site installing an implementation of OpenMRS in a developing country should be working with a team in a developed country

TODO:

  • PIH to come up with example use cases where we might need observation start date & duration
