The Lance Armstrong video is a good demo and an exciting development for the community.
I would very much like to see a conversation evolve in the community about how to share application and UI components. There is great interest in more interactive and visual components for OpenMRS, and some nice examples in the community such as patient registration, OpenMRS-TB, patient summaries, and the reporting framework. Many of these will be showcased at the Kigali meeting. I would also like to see more showcased on the OpenMRS demo site. While there will remain a need for some custom components for data visualization, new workflows etc. it would be great to see re-use of most application/UI components allowing all the benefits of testing, documentation and fine tuning that we have seen with HTML form entry and and X-forms for example. We are also looking for opportunities to move the new UI framework forward which could be of particular interest to larger projects thinking of doing signification work with OpenMRS but that would like to benefit from the community support going forward. I am sure there are additional cool things going on in the community that are not widely known. Anyone want to send round screen shots or do a demo on the new implementers call?

Do you know if they have any plans of making their modules open and/or uploading them to the modules page?

We recently had a demo from a Lance Armstrong-funded project where they developed a patient health record (PHR) atop OpenMRS within a module that completely replaced the UI of OpenMRS. -Burke On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 1:05 PM, Dave Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: Hi. I just wanted to second this, there are many examples of alternate interfaces that have been built on top of the openmrs api, like the touchscreen registration module we're running here in rwanda, or the mdrtb module. I've also in the past built a deidentified data entry interface for a large epi study based in lima. These are all examples in which the user doesn't have to (or can't) interact with the default ui at all. In some cases the interface seen by the user is role-based, meaning that you can have totally different interfaces for different real-life roles against the same implementation.

In MVP, we are using OpenMRS in all 10 African countries, with different applications for different users at the front end. Our Community Health Workers use ChildCount+ (RapidSMS) and this feeds into OpenMRS. Our clinics use OpenMRS primarily retrospectively, although we are looking at prospective entry for immunizations and children in some places. We also use ODK and xforms to capture Verbal Autopsy data and this all goes into OpenMRS. >> >> Happy to discuss and will definitely be in Kigali. >> >> Andy >> >> -------------------- >> Andrew S.
