Content Inventory of OpenMRS Systems

What is a content inventory?

A content inventory categorizes all the content on a website.

As we rebuild a new OpenMRS frontend, it will be helpful for to see the existing functionality and variation across clinical systems.

After completing a Content Inventory we can perform a cross-system Content Audit, to identify the most frequently used functionality, which will help in prioritizing design development.

How do to a content inventory

The resources at the bottom of this article propose how this is done for a typical website. However, as OpenMRS is a more of a web application (a tool used to do work), not a website (e.g. not advertising a product / service) we will adopt the traditional content inventory to meet our needs.

A blank template (TEMPLATE PENDING) is available for you to start a content inventory for your own OpenMRS System.
