Meetup for Raxa in Bay Area

  • schedule a talk for Shuro
  • organize at least one event of "bay area" cohort (Barry, Susan, Yasmine, others)

On Site Demo/Test Implementation (with Surajit NundyJohn V Stoecker (Unlicensed), and Sathyan Velumani)

  • Demoing first five modules: Registration, Screener, OPD, Pharmacy, Lab
  • In depth demo of Registration
    • They are now using our system to print cards.
    • They no long have to write out registration cards by hand. 
  • In depth demo of Pharmacy
    • Stock Inventory will be most useful for Pharmacy now. They will start using the prescription functions after more modules are implemented
    • To be done: import all current batches, more training sessions
    • Still needs a lot of work before it adds tremendous value. 
  • Server setup of OpenMRS
    • Importing patient data (3,000 of around 30,000-50,000)
    • Challenge: data entered incorrectly, invalid for OpenMRS, have to change values manually
  • Training sessions and User Feedback
    • organized by Sathyan
  • JSS connectivity
    • better than expected
    • major problem is power cuts 1x per hour .. during this time, our system is unreliable

       

UI / UX

 

  • last meeting focused on discussing billing

  • Yasmine has some time again (contact her, send across screenshots and demo.raxa.org, suggest she works exclusively on visual design)
  • updating pharmacy and registration designs
    • need to mesh DP and Yasmine designs from Reg and Pharmacy
    • "real" design being used for pharmacy is what matches registration; currently using something closer to Yasmine's Registration designs
  • delay UI/UX meeting until people return from JSS... should make sure we respond to all the issues raised from the hospital

Development

  • General
    • Remote contributing student groups
      • need modular, well-defined subprojects (can these folks contribute to existing: lab, radiology?)
    • "step back" ... code clean-up, refactoring, re-architecting
    • JSS maintainance the setup when we move away
    • decision support using arden rules is underway

  • Modules
    • General
      • many small updates in response to hospital requirements
    • Login - now loads uuid's properly
    • Registration - many changes to UI as per feedback from registration clerks
    • Screener - 
    • Pharmacy - many changes to UI, all increment/decrement logic moved to back end
    • Outpatient - 
    • Lab
    • Radiology
    • Privacy/Security
    • IVR
      • can call into system, number responds with some music; server/service is much more stable and reliable than previously
