Abstract

The CFL Messages module allows configuring a Message Service. Message Service is a combination of: schedule (an SQL script really) according to which the system should send messages to patients; Apache Velocity scripts which generate specific messages.

In practice, using the Messages module in conjunction with SMS module, system administrators can create visit reminders, missed visit reminders (send message a day after scheduled visit date), pill reminders (send text message everyday for x days) just through configuration (albeit complex configuration).

The integration between other OMRS functionality is made via schedule SQL query, so no coding is required in the other modules to use it as source of data for schedule.

Some general documentation regarding the module can be found here.

The goal of the project is :

  1. Making an O3 UI patient-based page with visualisation of a schedule, showing when a message from a particular Message Service is going to be sent to the Patient. There is 2.x style customised UI for it, not useful for O3.

  2. Making an O3 UI, aimed at system administrators, to facilitate configuration of Message Services - create new one, upload SQL queries, configure configuration options.
