Abstract

OCL Subscription Module is one of the most valuable modules used with OpenMRS to make the implementations easier. The existing OCL subscription module is built targetting the OpenMRS RefApp 2.x, and its frontend runs as an OpenWebApp (with the help of the OWA Module). When it comes to OpenMRS 3.x, the OWA module is deprecated but it is still used due to the unavailability of the micro frontend of the OCL Subscription Module. This project is focused on creating a micro frontend for the above-mentioned OpenMRS OCL Module (OCL Subscription Module) admin tool. With that modern frontend technologies, it enables OpenMRS users and developers around the world to share more frontend functionalities, reduce duplicated effort, and have a better user experience.
