Meetup for Raxa in Bay Area

  • schedule a talk for Shuro

  • organize at least one event of "bay area" cohort (Barry, Susan, Yasmine, others)

On Site Demo/Test Implementation (with @Surajit Nundy, @John V Stoecker (Unlicensed), and @Sathyan Velumani)

  • Demoing first five modules: Registration, Screener, OPD, Pharmacy, Lab

  • In depth demo of Registration

    • They are now using our system to print cards.

    • They no long have to write out registration cards by hand. 

  • In depth demo of Pharmacy

    • Stock Inventory will be most useful for Pharmacy now. They will start using the prescription functions after more modules are implemented

    • To be done: import all current batches, more training sessions

    • Still needs a lot of work before it adds tremendous value. 

  • Server setup of OpenMRS

    • Importing patient data (3,000 of around 30,000-50,000)

    • Challenge: data entered incorrectly, invalid for OpenMRS, have to change values manually

  • Training sessions and User Feedback

    • organized by Sathyan

  • JSS connectivity

    • better than expected

    • major problem is power cuts 1x per hour .. during this time, our system is unreliable

       

UI / UX

 

  • last meeting focused on discussing billing

  • Yasmine has some time again (contact her, send across screenshots and demo.raxa.org, suggest she works exclusively on visual design)

  • updating pharmacy and registration designs

    • need to mesh DP and Yasmine designs from Reg and Pharmacy

    • "real" design being used for pharmacy is what matches registration; currently using something closer to Yasmine's Registration designs

  • delay UI/UX meeting until people return from JSS... should make sure we respond to all the issues raised from the hospital

Development

  • General

    • Remote contributing student groups

      • need modular, well-defined subprojects (can these folks contribute to existing: lab, radiology?)

    • "step back" ... code clean-up, refactoring, re-architecting

    • JSS maintainance the setup when we move away

    • decision support using arden rules is underway

  • Modules

    • General

      • many small updates in response to hospital requirements

    • Login - now loads uuid's properly

    • Registration - many changes to UI as per feedback from registration clerks

    • Screener - 

    • Pharmacy - many changes to UI, all increment/decrement logic moved to back end

    • Outpatient - 

    • Lab

    • Radiology

    • Privacy/Security

    • IVR

      • can call into system, number responds with some music; server/service is much more stable and reliable than previously
