Hi Rowan, You're correct that this is pretty straightforward to do with AOP, although you almost definitely need to take some kind of shortcut to make it perform adequately to limit the patient-search-by-name method called frequently via ajax.
(Though, what defines the patient's location and the user's location? For the patient it could be an assigned location via a PersonAttribute, or it could be "Any encounter ever". What about for the user?) The Restrict By Role module does a more general version of this, but was written back in the days of OpenMRS 1.2 or 1.3, and really should be retired in favor of something more modern. I think this is one of the most commonly requested OpenMRS features. It's also a huge task to implement in a general way in core, but I think it would be very valuable to write the module you're describing. Perhaps we can organize a discussion or call among interested people to see if there's an easy-to-implement approach that will solve the 90% use case. I could imagine building ~ 5 different filters that cover many use cases, and that can be individually enabled/disabled in a config page. -Darius On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 12:03 PM, Rowan Seymour <[email protected]>wrote: > Something that's needed in Rwanda is a away to limit access to patient > records by providers based on location.
