Minutes

Previous meeting minute review

• TODO: Darius to email Burke about getting an RG DBA to look at the query

Concept Proposal

• AMPATH wants the conceptproposal module for workflow of creating concepts
• The 2010 gsoc project for conceptproposal did not get to the workflow portion at all
• MVP/PIH wants to hire a prog in Rwanda to work on conceptproposal
• TODO: Glen to make tickets for tasks and versions/iterations of the module
• TODO: Ada to spec out what minimal functionality would be needed by AMPATH

• Ali mentioned there are issues with concept names that are not exactly the same (but really are) e.g start vs initiate
• Andy: we increase the number of concept names to help people find concepts
• Andy: word equivalency: kidney == renal, start == initiation - TRUNK-1537
• Andy: TSB as a module is "pretty far along".  A release by the end of the year

Concept Mapping Tool

• (Jonathon Payne added this but isn't here to support it, akanter is going to talk about what he thinks he wanted)
• http://maternalconceptlab.com has a powerful search tool
• PIH uses metadatasharing to import/export and needs to be able to import from other systems easily
• Jonathon is going to be putting effort into modifying the concept map attributes and db schema
• TODO: Add concept mapping to design call

Sending mail from OpenMRS

• Not supported out of the box because an external smtp server is needed
• The MessageService sends email if you have set up the right global properties
• The MessagingModule could be able to send email
• Hui Xiao is working on the PHR module and needs the messaging module to support email.
