Hi, I've been creating the document to improve the spreadsheet import module (I'm attaching it here in case anyone wants to look at it and give me suggestions. If you do please make them with Track Changes in the Word doc).
One thing I came across was whether the module should create a new encounter if it imports observations for a patient. From what I can tell right now the import module inserts the observations, but doesn't link them to an encounter (I have to admit that I'm guessing a little there because I haven't gotten it to work on OMRS 1.6). This means that you can search for the observation and even use it in the patient summary module or others, but there isn't an encounter where you can see (and modify) what was imported. I see that as being useful, but a. wanted to check with others how useful they thought that functionality would be b. how complicated it would be do to that? For example, is there a way for this to create an encounter without having a form linked to it and if now form is required how would it display the data.
