Hello fellow OpenMRS developers!

My name is Wesley Brown and I am writing on behalf of the OpenHMIS team to
 get some feedback on the design for our Registration Module.  The OpenHMIS
Registration Module is the entry point of the data for all of our
patient-related activities.  All forthcoming OpenHMIS modules that deal
with patient data will rely on this registration module in some fashion, if
only for the data that is collected.  As such, the registration module
functionality will likely grow to support the additional interfaces and
requirements over time.

The features that will be included in our initial release are:

   - Gather Patient Registration Details
   - Support Multiple Registration Queues (e.g. Inpatient, Outpatient, etc)
   - Gather Patient Visit History
   - Patient Visit Slip Generation
   - Support Flexible Patient Queries
   - Patient Data Lifetime
   - Registration Notifications
   - Support for Patient Sponsorship
   - Appointment Scheduling
   - Patient Record Accessibility

Each of these features is discussed in more depth on our wiki page:
https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/OpenHMIS+-+Registration+Module
The OpenHMIS code is currently hosted at github:
https://github.com/OpenHMIS/registration  Note that the features above have
not yet been implemented so there isn't very much in the way of code to
look at.

It seems like there are a number of groups working on adding more robust
registration capabilities to OpenMRS, as well as other hospital management
features.  I have heard of at least two: a group from PIH and a group from
AMPATH.  However I have not been able to find any public information about
their progress or overall design.  Has there been any discussion about
collaborating with each other so that we don't duplicate our efforts and
end up with a bunch of fragmented HMIS modules?  If not, is there any
interest to do so?

We would also like to get some feedback from the OpenMRS development
community and hopefully utilize existing work rather than reinvent the
wheel.

Thanks!
-Wes Brown
