What this module does

This module exposes all changes to the openmrs system as an atom feed. When a patient/concept/encounter/obs is created/updated/deleted this is logged and added to the list.

Documentation / How-To

Relies on use of the Event Module and REST Module. The Atomfeed module hooks into events in openmrs via the Event module. The atomfeed module provides links back to the object changed as webservices.rest urls.

current source code: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-atomfeed

You can access the atom feed servlet using this suffix in your url: /moduleServlet/atomfeed/atomfeed
e.g.

http://localhost:8080/openmrs/moduleServlet/atomfeed/atomfeed

Or you can optionally supply an asOfDate to limit feed items to only those on or after the given date:

http://localhost:8080/openmrs/moduleServlet/atomfeed/atomfeed?asOfDate=2012-05-22

Example atom feed:

	<title>OpenMRS Updates</title>
	<link href="http://localhost:8080/openmrs/atomfeed" rel="self" />
