Hi Terry, I am not sure they realise the good causes the concept database will serve as yet. As I see it with time it will become the most comprehensive knowledge base on the frontline in Africa. It is now it the seed form and it will have to grow. The best way to grow it is for the frontliners to have access it, use it and propose concepts they cannot find. So we will all need lookup access at least and then admin/developers can look after the editing. I used to complain (privately) why we are stuck with CD4 Count etc in OpenMRS and I found I went there looking it up eventually. Just as they say a puppy is for life and not only for Christmas, I think the Concept Database is for life not just for development as well.

It acts as a knowledge resource and an educational tool. Terry Hannan Dr Terry J.
