Probably an oversight. I just added the class... do we need to register it somewhere? Or it just a matter of adding the option to the UI?

In the core distribution we only have handlers for Image and for Plain Text, but a module could easily add PDF. (And that seems like something we'd want to bundle in the standard distribution too.) If you look at this enounter on the demo server today (since its db resets nightly) you'll see that I've added a png image as one of the obs whose concept is Darius Test Complex Obs or something like that: http://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/admin/encounters/encounter.form?encounterId=44345 -Darius On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 8:57 AM, Bill Lober <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Shaun, others? Could one use complex obs to store an URI, and possibly credentials, to an external repository. That's the model used by the Cross Document Sharing profiles (XDS) of IHE. One could reference either a document store in a "Document Store Module" (to be written, I think), an external light-weight document store, a query string into an existing object store, or a document reference in a commercial document management system. It would be a very flexible approach. I came across Complex Obs not too long ago - is anyone using them? Is this an appropriate use?

For example, consider the following scenario: 1) A patient receives care at an OpenMRS site. 2) An encounter is created, a referral to a specialist is ordered. 3) Patient leaves. 4) Days later, the specialist's dictated paper note is sent to the clinic. It is scanned and the electronic note must be "attached" to the previous encounter. Given the above, a desirable workflow would be: 1) User selects the patient. 2) User selects "Encounters". 3) User selects "Edit" to edit the previous encounter. 4) User selects "Add Observation". Steps 1-4 exist today, here's the new, hypothetical workflow: 5) Select an observation that indicates the result is an external file (e.g., an observation like, "PDF Referral note" -- let's not focus on the observation name yet, it may not be quite the right model; it's just a concept to trigger the next steps in the workflow): 6) Selecting "PDF Referral note" surfaces an "attach PDF file" option. 7) User selects "Select file" 8) User finds file and clicks "Upload" (this is much like an email attachment workflow) 9) File is uploaded. 10) The observation "PDF Referral note" is added to the encounter. 11) When user clicks on "PDF Referral note" in the appropriate encounter, the PDF file is displayed in an external viewer (again, much like an email attachment is handled by an external application) My question: Has a workflow similar to this been implemented in OpenMRS? Is it in core and I'm missing it? In a module? Thanks for your feedback! Shaun -- Shaun J.
