What are my options for customizing patient registration?  What are the
tradeoffs?  Can I still make use of modules?  I particularly need the ID Gen
module and Address Hierarchy.  

Some choices I know about:
* tweak some of the settings in global properties to make fields appear or
disappear in the regular create patient
* HTML Forms has a tag that will create a patient.  The page will be
good-looking and easy to modify.  Can I still make use of, say, the ID Gen
module?
* I could make a patient xform. The page will be more compatible with
mobile, and I can make changes with the xform designer.   How about those
modules?
* I could write a registration module from scratch. ( Is MDR-TB an example
of that?)  How vulnerable is it to breaking when I upgrade core?  Is it a
lot of extra work for not much benefit? Can I make a couple portlets and
insert them on the reg page? 

Things I'd like to accomplish:
* swap the order of given name/ family name from the Find page to
registration -- family name comes first here, and the form populates with
the second name
* make it easier to create a caretaker on the reg page 
* (ideal) add a dropdown with a couple of encounter forms and on Save,
immediately go to the add encounter form.  Alternately, ask for a few
important values, and create an encounter behind the scenes with those
values filled in.    When 1.9 comes out, automatically  create a visit on
save. 

Will that give you enough to discuss?

Thank you-
Janet
