Minutes

• Organization Update
  • Nonprofit
    • Moving forward with RI to catch every one up to speed with our specific intentions
    • Still completing individual phone calls for OpenMRS vision statement
  • Online Presence
    • Burke working with Michael Downey to get more memory on virtual machine
      • More memory means considering the transition over to JIRA
      • Goal is to have transition fully operational within one month
      • Michael is creating updates on WorkPress site
• Road Map
  • 1.8 and 1.9
    • We are starting to move in front of the design for each
    • Continue to identify what will be included and excluded from each version
  • Hospital Information Systems
    • Discussion occurred over what we mean by "support" for hospital systems
      • On the road map people identified this as a priority
      • Plan is to ask community/users what specifically they are looking for
      • Hamish spoke with Richard Gakuba in Rwanda about hospital systems and the ability to use OpenMRS as a desktop EMR project, eventually looking towards a point where doctors can do direct data entry
  • Mobile Data Collection
    • As we work with more community health interfaces, we need to address metadata issues about how to assign families or data to families rather than individuals
      • This is in reference to a case when a home visit is made to the entire family and making the data during this visit easier to record
    • Additional ideas:
      • Have the ability to design forms from the OMRS side and having ways to collect those on multiple and different devices
      • Creating a way to interact with data on mobile device rather than just collecting the data (ie. having the ability to review previous data)
    • Suggestions:
      • OMRS is doing something to help those data collection tools to work with OMRS
      • We need an idea of what the mobile community needs
      • What is the essential workflow for a scenario that we want to support
  • 17 June 2010
    • Hamish will provide more conversation about the hospital information system
    • Andy will revisit the mobile data collection piece
• Invitation to International Free Software Forum
  • Ben received an invitation to this conference
    • The group will look into the possibility of funding and attendance
