Jonah, good work. Yesterday I had the opportunity to see a presentation by and talk to one of the members of the international activities group of the US Census Bureau. They, MEASURE and ICF Macro are particularly active in building Census capacity in Africa. I asked him particularly about issues relating to the definition of a household, and he referred me to a UN document, http://unstats.un.org/unsd/publication/SeriesM/Seriesm_67rev2e.pdf. Starting at p.100, this document has some basic definitions (person, household, living quarters) which may be useful in defining some data elements for the household or for the relationship between the patient and the household. It provides a structure for handling some of the special cases -- homelessness, refugee camps, institutional quarters. By aligning our data with Census data, we can make better use of GIS and identify catchment areas/populations to measure the reach of the health system.

Is the module ready to upload to the Module Repository? -Darius On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 2:59 PM, Jonah S.

You can now checkout the most recent copy, compile and test. Documentation on the openmrs wiki<https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Household+Module> will be filled in tomorrow with sample screen shots. Tickets that relate to this module can be created in the provided link<https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/HSHOLD>. This module forms our first step towards capturing household level data in openmrs for clinical decision support. I look forward to seeing more programmers/implementors help support/improve this module as well as integrate it with other modules e.g. HTMLFormEntry module to be able to realize its intended vision. Hope you find the work done in it a step towards the realization of comprehensive care in health care. Thanks, -- Jonah S.
