HTML Form Flowsheet Module:

Also need HTML Form Entry and role-based homepage modules

Q&A

Janet: Do I have to use a program? Would I have to create a "Primary Care Program"?
Dave:

  • You don't need to use this with role-based homepages...
  • The HTML Form Flowsheet portlet requires a program, so you can't use that without one, but defining the flowsheet/chart in the URL string works without a program

The word "Visit" in the HTML Form Flowsheet module

  • These aren't Visits as introduced in OpenMRS 1.9.
  • There's a GP that controls whether each subform gets its data inserted into existing encounters, or creates new ones.

If I want to get to know the code, what classes should I start from?

  • Most of the code is actually in the HTML Form Entry module.
  • HTML Form Flowsheet adds a new tag to HFE

Future features:

  • Use a db table to store the configuration for each flowsheet/chart, instead of requiring URL strings
  • ability to include other things (e.g. other portlets) in tabs
  • Needs someone to test this on higher versions than 1.6
