Technical approaches
  • Have a lot of code in UI Framework (GSP pages)
  • Trying to do newer development with Angular 1.x + REST
  • Investigating React
  • pihcore module contains many of the PIH-specific core functionalities
Demonstrations
  • Haiti system
  • Paperless consult note
  • Registration > Check-In (start visit)
  • Vitals Capture uses queue of all patients checked in
  • Chief complaint in free text
  • Consult Queues
  • Lists of patients ready for consultation
  • Selecting patient takes provider to visit dashboard
  • Consult Note
  • Lists all forms associated with the encounter
  • Users can randomly choose forms or step through them in order
  • For example: Chief Complaint, Vaccinations, Supplement history, Allergies, Outpatient History, Physical Exam
  • Encounter is saved (updated) as you go along
  • Most code is Angular 1.x + REST
  • Includes a print function
  • Lab Tracking module
  • Building for Mirebalais Hospital
  • Labs can be ordered
  • Would like to have section on dashboard to show recent orders
  • Lab Tracking is used to record when sample is done and specimen(s) sent to lab
  • At Mirebalais, labs are return via PDF file
  • User can enter result and upload PDF as complex obs
  • Working with a contractor to create much of the module
Questions
  • What's going on with DHIS2 Integration?
  • More aspirational. Priority in several sites.
  • Running DHIS2 internally.
  • Any plans/wish for draft encounters?
  • Would use if it existed
  • How are the encounters belonging to a visit recorded?
  • An Angular-based app defines forms that go under an encounter
  • Is PIH interested in/aware of current efforts to add "encounter diagnosis" as another element of encounter (equivalent to obs, orders)?
  • How do patients get into queues?
  • Queues are calculated (e.g., patient checked in without vitals within appropriate time frame shows in vitals queue)
  • Given increasing oncology-related needs, are you aware of work at AMPATH and Uganda around Oncology (Johnblack, Chite, JJ)?
