Eg> you could have a validation rule based on CD 4 levels ...and the corelate the same with the opportunistic infections that could occur at that CD level....and its treatment protocols , this would add tremendous value to the software particularly in resource poor settings.
Another feature can be to generate "exception reporting" , when there is a deviation in the care administered from the standard accepted guidelines then a report is generated, eg when someone starts Anti TB treatment along with ART its an exception to the current guideline, this would not only help as a cross check if a healthcare worker is making a mistake as against a concious decision, these exception reports also help in monitoring of the quality of care at any particular clinic.
if a subgroup of care2x developers can start working on this .it will be a great contribution to the exisiting HIV / AIDS problem !!!

Dear All,
Having worked for several years in Africa with HIV/AIDS, I regard this
as a very useful contribution. The tremendously powerful infrastructure
of Care2x should be able to accommodate any such anonymous testing (VCT
for those who are busy in the field ;-) ).
Another feature that we may wish to consider is the integration of
patient (and medical professionals) educational material, as well as
travel medicine advice. Would we not ALL love to have standard
information on common colds, viral gastroenteritis, etc. at our
fingertips that we can easily issue to the wary mother of a sick child?
Also, this knowledge base feature would be of terrific value for
HIV/AIDS workers, patients, and counsellors alike!
Regarding the latter, I have been working on a simple yet powerful
system based - essentially - on htdig and/or swish-e, but I have not yet
though about integration into Care2x...
Thanks again, Susheel, any thoughts anybody?
