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.

Where to Find Work

Sprint Board: https://om.rs/fhirboard 




To Address Next Meeting

  • Jose CBS/CBR IG + CBS Updates

  • EMR-LIS QA and IG updates from Piotr

  • Every week: FHIR Board Review https://om.rs/fhirboard

  • Facility Registry updates

  • IG Review

  • CBS & COVID?

 

Parking Lot

Organization

ITECH

  • Identifiers (anything to help uniquely i.d. pts in CR & SHR)

  • Facility Registry Workflows: mapping with Intrahealth (OMRS to Facility Registry)

  • Info captured as Obs mapped to meds/med requests because diff OMRS implementations map to data in different ways; need to override to map to way iSantePlus maps to meds, med orders, etc

  • Address FHIR resource gaps i.d.'d for CBS for OHRI (the gaps spreadsheet)

  • Conformance testing to show system specs working with other systems that expect that behavior

 

Intellisoft

  • Finalize PLIR work

  • (more tbc - Facility Registry Workflows?)

 

Ampath

  • Support for Patient Lists (blocked?)

  • Use FHIR to generate Patient Alerts/Flags

  • FHIR support for Patient List feature

  • Representing episodes of care (using programs?)

UCSF

  • Search for encounters by encounter Type?

  • CBS?

 

OpenHIE

Client Registry Workflows

RwandaEMR & VLSMS Updates

2022-07-12

Epic: Integration of OpenMRS with a FHIR-based Client Registry

Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

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 

https://github.com/I-TECH-UW/laboratory-workflows-ig 

IG work progress

FHIR-based HIE support Rwanda

 

Topic: Fhir Diagnostic Report: Implementation and some Recommendations https://talk.openmrs.org/t/fhir-diagnostic-report-implementation-and-some-recommendations/37032/3

FHIR IG Update from Abert & Sharif: WIP draft PR for FHIR IG Patient Resource: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-fhir2-ig/pull/6

Organizations: Agreement voiced btwn Ian and Angshu that representation of Organizations is a gap in the OMRS data model that should be addressed.

2022-05-17

  • 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

  • FR - testing (Tendo)
