Problems To Solve

 

Make installing as easy as possible, without a dev team to deploy. Need something simpler than docker for non-tech deployers. 

All OMRS FHIR resources are compliant with the IPS. However there are some things the IPS asks for that we don't yet have a story for:

  • 'medicationStatements' (pt-supplied med list). Need non-ordered Meds represented in our system. 

  • 'Procedures' - needs OMRS support (could be a clearly labelled concept set)

  • Task resource - need to redesign how FHIR module implements tasks

  • DiagnosticReports modelling

  • Programs - eg episodeOfCare request from UgEMR - supposed to track pt across multiple encounters. Currently being used in contradicting ways. 

Implementations need to be more involved in how we model things with FHIR↔OMRS data model because current FHIR modelling lead isn't directly involved in Implementations - e.g.: Diagnostic Reports: Supposed to be FHIR representation of a doc from the lab. We've gone back and forth on how that's implemented, eg as way of implementing obs groups → means diagnostic reports have become their own separate table which no one seems to be using. 

Frontend Team milestones

 

Review of the calls we're making and how we can make those much more efficient. 

 

QA Team milestones

 

 

 

Backend Team milestones

 

Enhance REST API Performance (Fewer API calls needed): Instead of 40 requests from FE, want 1 request that carries multiple things. We have multiple APIs that can do that but need to be extended or refactored for higher quality. Eg: Encounter info bundling. Eg: Order basket: searching for a drug creates >40 requests instantly - won't function well under poor wifi.

Helping an Implementer use our E2E test tactics

ICAP-Ethiopia working with Anjula on implementing. Was blocked for a few weeks during their system migration. Trying to write at least unit and integration tests before end of fellowship. Risk mitigation done: Relevant infra is set up on their repo + docs ready.

KenyaEMR very interested. Reviewed code. To f/u with their devs for form testing (which are currently tested manually).

Dockerized OpenMRS - Easier to Deploy, No more Dependency-Hell

Updated dependencies on infra that is used to run on containers - makes straightforward to set up OpenMRS. Will reduce production implementation problems where the root cause was just a dependency on a different version # of Java, Maven, etc. 

Done: Cut CI Build time from 30 mins to 15 mins Dependency caching done so local instances should be faster too. Fine-tune hibernate config and other things in OMRS run-time-properties. Info about how to use the prefix to do this: ___(docs to come; mostly in core README)___ Next: Releases of OMRS Core & Platform maintenance versions that can be used in O3 & O2 RefApp releases.

Migrate CI Plans (Deployment Recipes) into GitHub for easier Implementer re-use

  No longer a black-box re. how to set up a CI pipeline when using OpenMRS software. Need to document how to do this so volunteers can help with integrating.
