Expectations for FHIR Squad Notes
The FHIR Squad uses the OpenMRS Wiki - Edit mode for real-time note taking. What does this mean? Everyone attending a meeting monitors and contributes to the note taking. At the start of each squad meeting, we'll ask for (or designate) a volunteer to be the primary note-taker.

Epic: Integration of OpenMRS with a FHIR-based Client Registry
Client Registry work: Implementation agnostic - bringing work from Haiti into support in OMRS itself, in same way we supported LIS. Haiti, Botswana, C’DI
→ Nigeria → Gibril
→ Rwanda
→ Cambodia → Mekom (have MPI service but want it integrateable with other clinics)
TODO: Piotr
Decision to be made: do we continue witht he current MPI module, or start fresh?
Diagnostic report API for Bahmni
Bundle approach was done by Piotr’s team in their LIS approach, eg here: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-labonfhir

May Mini-Meeting
GSoD
FHIR Resources Gap Analysis (Ethiopia)
Ethiopia is not planning full data migration
Spreadsheet captures what is needed for critical calculations - not all of the needs
Some gaps are more about the OMRS data model (ie: care plans, medication statement, episodes of cre) - beyond scope of the FHIR Squad
Clear idea of the attributes & what Ethiopia wants to do with these things
Actions
Address the data model:
Take the data model gaps to the Platform Team (Daniel, Rafal, Ian, Piotr): what would it take to support x elements for care, from a) a data model perspective, b) what does it mean to translate this into something that's usable from the user interface, and c) are there phases to make this happen?
Consider:
Ian (and Piotr) to update Talk thread with ideas for short term solution using 3.x widgets that talk with HAPI FHIR server to help Ethiopia meet July deadline (pseudo SMART on FHIR)
Work through a longer term solution with TAC
Jen to reach out to Ethiopia Team about attending a dedicated TAC call on this, share their use cases. Others to join: Piotr, Mwariri, Eudson
