Abstract

A patient has a problem and comes to an internet-hosted OpenMRS implementation with this module installed. Without needing to register an account (but fill name and email in the form), the patient should be able to upload their own narrative of their problem. Depending on the HTMLForm or XForm that is made available by the OpenMRS admin, the patient needs to fill the form and send their patient narrative. This could include long descriptive text, scanned images for existing test results, recorded videos etc. This submitted form gets added as an Encounter (with say under-review encounterType) for a default Patient and saved by a default provider. A reviewer or data-entry clerk reviews this information, creates a new patient and transfers the appropriate encounter to the newly created patient.

The goal of the project is to enable care-seeker to connect with care-giver in which their current treatment can be reviewed by a group of care-givers, who can suggest further action. A captcha prevents from spam submission of forms over the web
