Dear All, This is a request for assistance on a topic I have made Hamish, Burke, Paul and Chris aware of several months ago.
In October I have been invited to the University of Pavia by Riccardo Bellazzi (see invitation) do a workshop presentation to clinicians and others in his faculty on "OpenMRS" (broad approach for clinicians). I am seeking help, advice or any other materials that will help me in this venture. I have some slides from the AMIA meeting in SF 2009 provided by Burke and Chris. Terry Hannan Dr Terry J.

We recently had a demo from a Lance Armstrong-funded project where they developed a patient health record (PHR) atop OpenMRS within a module that completely replaced the UI of OpenMRS. -Burke On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 1:05 PM, Dave Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: Hi. I just wanted to second this, there are many examples of alternate interfaces that have been built on top of the openmrs api, like the touchscreen registration module we're running here in rwanda, or the mdrtb module. I've also in the past built a deidentified data entry interface for a large epi study based in lima. These are all examples in which the user doesn't have to (or can't) interact with the default ui at all. In some cases the interface seen by the user is role-based, meaning that you can have totally different interfaces for different real-life roles against the same implementation.

This would support your unique workflow and, in addition, you could make the program appear very basic/simple to the end user. > >regards, >Glen > >On 2011-08-23, at 3:30 AM, Andrew Kanter wrote: > >> Thang, >> >> There are many ways to hide the complexity of OpenMRS but continue to use the application and database as the back end. In MVP, we are using OpenMRS in all 10 African countries, with different applications for different users at the front end. Our Community Health Workers use ChildCount+ (RapidSMS) and this feeds into OpenMRS. Our clinics use OpenMRS primarily retrospectively, although we are looking at prospective entry for immunizations and children in some places. We also use ODK and xforms to capture Verbal Autopsy data and this all goes into OpenMRS. >> >> Happy to discuss and will definitely be in Kigali. >> >> Andy >> >> -------------------- >> Andrew S.
