Hi, I think everybody who installs care2x sooner or later will need some sort of reporting. Yet, there is no reporting mechanism in care2x. Everybody is programmatically building his or her own reports, probably some reports are or will be almost the same. (raise your finger if you have Registrations per Month reports) Now, if there would be one reporting engine in (or besides) care2x which would be able to generate reports. What would the requirements of such a piece of software be? Just to start that thread off, some ideas: - It should be able to generate reports in different formats: html, pdf, xml, csv, tab delimited - It should be templatable, so you can re-use the formatting in different reports - It should be able to produce 'Lists', but also Charts - It should be able to handle the following entities by default, but be extensible for future or custom modules: - Patient - Departments - Appointments - Admission - Requests - Doctors - Nurses - Wards - OP Rooms - Laboratory/Blood Bank - Tests - Pharmacy - Pharmacy Product - Medical Depot - Medical Depot Product - Of these entities the relation to other entities should be requestable where applicable (Pharmacy Products per Department, Appointment per Patient, Nurses per Doctor etc) - All reports should be 'filterable' on all information available in the Entities. (A report about Admissions per Month for the Oncology Department for 2004) - It should be a non-programmers task to define new Reports. - It should be a non-programmers task to run Reports. - The Reporting Engine only creates reports for day to day data. If you want to do real agregation of data, you would need to use DHIS. My question: what else should care2x report generator be able to do? (or should not) rgds, Reinier Battenberg PS Next question: how do we manage these requirements as a care2x group? Next question: who builds this, even though everyone will use it? Next question: can we use JasperReports to generate the reports? And then build a nice module around it? (somebody has done such a thing for SugarCRM. It seems like a pragmatic idea http://www.sugarforge.org/projects/zuckerreports ) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear kyaw, I work for a brazilian public hospital situated in Petrópolis - RJ. We are studying care2x to see if this software will fit our needs. It is possible that we will need reports also, so if it will not be a problem for you, as soon as you have your reports ready, please send them to me. I am open to share with you also what you maybe need.Thank you Guilherme Rheingantz VasconcellosDear all, The care2x system was start using on Sri lanka, since last april 2006. Currently, one hospital is using and we are introducing to another and another hospitals. The hospital "Medical Record Officer", request several reports.
