O3: User Onboarding

Medium

175 hours

Implement User Onboarding in the Test 3 and O3 demo environments, like these designs show. Introduce users to major features in a typical generic outpatient workflow. 

React


Dennis Kigen 

Next Generation Implementer Tools for OpenMRS 3

Redesigned config tools for O3

Advanced

350 hours

Non-tech users can set up a 3.x EMR in a friendly, no-code UI, similar to designing a website. Empowers local team members to set up and config their EMR themselves. More detailed user stories and requirements documented here. Project plan documented here.

Scope: technical work on the redesigned config tools for O3.

*Design is done because Ampath/@jdick graciously contributed designs and user testing, sample designs, and @bistenes gave a lot of architectural and technical input but then had to set the project aside.

React

Javascript

Typescript


Vineet Sharma Hadijah Kyampeire 
Validating and re-working (updating) the OpenMRS PatientFlags module 

Medium

175 hours

Patient Flags feature cannot be added to RefApp 3.x just because the supporting OpenMRS PatientFlags module has a number of loop-holes.  
This is blocking the progress of the ANC prototype the initial milestone was displaying Patient Flags to the Frontend.

O3: Search Patient Chart feature 

Advanced

350 hours

E.g. search all of a particular patient chart for an item of interest, e.g. "IUD" or "COVID", to find if that term/situation has ever come up for this patient. We can likely leverage this past work: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-chartsearch Will need an API.
