Aug 20, 2012

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

  • 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
