Migrating from OpenMRS ID to KeyCloak
| Medium 175 hours | Our current ID system is beyond its end of life and unstable. This leads to significant interruptions for OpenMRS projects prioritized by users. A new OpenMRS ID system will reduce service interruptions, reduce infrastructure volunteer workload, and eliminate security vulnerabilities. We would like the user 'handle' to be shared across Jira, Confluence and Discourse. The new ID system should either be free for open source projects, or extremely cost-effective for the amount of users we have. We are open to hosting open source tools, using cloud projects, or using Atlassian ID directly as OpenID or similar. | DevOps Authentication and SSO IT Strategy | |||
O3: User Onboarding | Medium 175 hours | Implement User Onboarding in the Test 3 and O3 demo environments, like these designs show. Introduce users to major features in a typical generic outpatient workflow. | React | Dennis Kigen (Unlicensed) | ||
Next Generation Implementer Tools for OpenMRS 3 Redesigned config tools for O3 | Advanced 350 hours | Non-tech users can set up a 3.x EMR in a friendly, no-code UI, similar to designing a website. Empowers local team members to set up and config their EMR themselves. More detailed user stories and requirements documented here. Project plan documented here. Scope: technical work on the redesigned config tools for O3. *Design is done because Ampath/@jdick graciously contributed designs and user testing, sample designs, and @bistenes gave a lot of architectural and technical input but then had to set the project aside. | React Javascript Typescript | Vineet Sharma | Hadijah Kyampeire | |
| Validating and re-working (updating) the OpenMRS PatientFlags module | Medium 175 hours | Patient Flags feature cannot be added to RefApp 3.x just because the supporting OpenMRS PatientFlags module has a number of loop-holes. Reference: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-esm-patient-chart/pull/926#issuecomment-1419165955 | Java REST APIs | |||
| O3: Search Patient Chart feature | Advanced 350 hours | E.g. search all of a particular patient chart for an item of interest, e.g. "IUD" or "COVID", to find if that term/situation has ever come up for this patient. We can likely leverage this past work: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-chartsearch Will need an API. | ||||
