2012-08-20 Feedback from Visiting Doctor
Participants: Sathyan Velumani , Surajit Nundy , John V Stoecker (Unlicensed), Nathan Leiby (Unlicensed), (visiting doctor's name?)
Epidemiology standpoint
- Needs powerful querying tools, to pull up reports
- e.g. bmi by malaria, etc
clinical / EMR standpoint
- notes section is good, necessary
- but lots of checkboxes, tick boxes are needed
- possible to capture history as series of checkboxes?
- data entry person attached to physician? cheap labor makes it OK / possible?
- administrator vs physician perspective
- doctor likes autogenerating treatments, less tedious writing etc
- doctor likes easy access to longitudinal info for patient
- what things are longitudinally important ... allow graphs of those
- 25 top variables to physicians? autograph them
- x y ... time vs measurement unit
- what are very specific lab measurements, clinical diagnoses (repeat diahreeal)
- privacy and communication between EMRS
- learn from NHIS
- only registered users can access and port data
- prove that they're actually a physician at another institution
- MCI database of doctors in
- UID
- anyone can send a query ... X requests your healthdata, Sends SMS to patient, type this code
- prove that they're actually a physician at another institution
- patient component
business model
- Consider Redhat Business model - opensource, but getting $$ by helping with installation and support
- NOT customization ... wont fit everyone
- installation, setup/config, IT support, etc
