Mike/Darius,
I am very new to openMRS so please correct me if I am wrong. But , the other 
benefit that I see with the Reporting module approach is you can query the 
database with different parameters for a single patient or for a group of 
patient. On the other hand, the htmlformentry approach, though may have certain 
constrain, but may be a quick development option and thus both of them can run 
in parrallel and then can compliment each other. I will love to join in the 
requirement gathering session for this - I try to understand the design etc, 
but am not a developer in any stretch :-) but have few years of experience 
working as a healthinformatics consultant to optimize clinical workflows etc - 
So any help that i can provide, i am available ..
 
Thanks,
Rajib

Subject: Re: [OPENMRS-DEV] Couple of GSOC 2012 Project ideas

Darius,I have been thinking for a while now that the reporting module is also a 
good candidate for supporting a more easily configurable clinical summary.  eg. 
Create a Report containing whatever datasets you need, then use an HTML / Excel 
/ PDF template renderer to produce either a single patient summary or 
collection of patient summaries.Win and I have had a few conversations about 
prototyping a next version of the clinical summary module that would sit on top 
of reporting and use it's evaluation and rendering capabilities to do it's 
thing, rather than re-implement them, but we haven't done it yet.This could 
complement and htmlformentry approach for sure - the benefit of reporting is 
that you are not limited to an html output style, and you have all of the data 
that the reporting module can produce accessible to you - but I also like the 
htmlformentry idea.  We should discuss a bit if either/both these ideas have 
legs to implement independently, or
 if we want to come up with a more unified approach...MikeOn 02/29/2012 01:32
