Notes
  • Management of New Contributors
    • 3 new contributors  have set up lab environment
    • Jianhua making great progress, has 1 bug fix already completed and in need of review
  • Breakdown of Work
    • lab-order likely to be last part to come through; sub-class of OpenMRS order
    • Objects
      • expose and unit test
    • Custom Views
      • expose specific information needed by front end, and do all logic/processing to combine info on the back end (minimize REST calls)
    • Lab Reports
    • Lab Management
      • Need a good dashboard for approval
      • Need good status display: how many specimens awaiting each department
    • Lab Results
  •  UI/UX
    • John Anzelc has committed to get involved more regularly with lab module ui development
    • Lab Result entry screen
      • needs to be complex and handle a diversity of types of results
      • Who tested, what time ... links back to actual lab result with all of its details
  • GSoC
    • mentoring projects ... as JSS, as OpenMRS?? --> Move Lab Admin pages, Lab Reports projects to OpenMrs space
    • selecting students... feedback on their applications? 
  • Tying Backend and Frontend together
    • "Reading" is simpler
      • Result from another lab - biopsy tests, offsite tests... only require "reading" of data
    • "Writing" observations is more complex
    • Landing Page
      • when you login, on landing page of "lab" module... 
        • register specimen, report a test, prepare a sample, search (among these: sample collection, microscopy, etc)
    • InOut.xls ... validation, required inputs
