I'm one of those extremely interested in this, and would be happy to be on a call. My additional request would be to put this into the cohort builder where each health center would view only their patient searches/saved cohorts and also could only see their patients if they asked for all patients.

(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]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Something that's needed in Rwanda is a away to limit access to patient records by providers based on location. Seems like this would be pretty easy to do via aop. A very simple version would just check that the provider is from the same location. A more sophisticated version would allow providers to be assigned to patients from multiple locations. You could define which roles are subject to this location requirement and which aren't. I'm sure I've heard people discussing this before but I can't find any such modules in the repository... I'll put something together if there isn't something I'm missing here.
