<html><head><title></title></head><body>* Dealing with temporal data
-
- obs.obs_datetime should contain the date that the observation occurred — e.g., the time when the observation was actually "observed"
- obs.value_datetime is used for dates as an answer to a date-related concept
- Can obs have answers that are coded and free text
- use two concepts ("OTHER" as an answer to the original question and another concept to supply the free text answer)
- Vibha's topics
- Sunsetting obs.value_boolean
- Scaling up
- Ideally, each site installing an implementation of OpenMRS in a developing country should be working with a team in a developed country
TODO:
- PIH to come up with example use cases where we might need observation start date & duration
