RE: [Care2002-developers] AIDS ARV ART with Care2x
Hi There is a huge need for ARV HIS in South Africa and probably in many other places in the world. Our area is about to pilot a commercial program (web-based, Oracle, Java). Care2x has all the building blocks required for ARV - what is required is a specific front end GUI. There would also need to be some specific tables added (WHO classification, etc). IMHO Care2x is too flexible (if that can be possible) for the average user, especially for something like ARV therapy. Is any-one interested in helping me to create the ART module? I could help with some design and UI issues, but don't have time or skill to help with coding.

Hi Mark, I would like to join you in the development of this ARV module. If you can send me the specifications theni can work it out.

[Care2002-developers] Care2x for OPD Use!
Hi Everyone, This is my first post coz I believe I need to make a decision at this juncture but first some background... I have been toying/beta testing in the IT Room care2x since the 0.* days with a view to adopt it as HMIS (hospital management information system) for a Non profit and the ONLY children's hospital in my country Kenya( and in East Central Africa!). During those times I had volunteered as the Hospital Sysadmin ..I still am on Part-time non paid basis. The Hospital is called Gertrude's Garden Children Hospital (www.gerties.org ...not well done site but was again a volunteer work) Back to the main Issue. I have been testing Care2x due to the perceived benefits..Open source et al. and the Hospital Admin (CEO) is in the picture and in agreement totally as I wanted it implemented as the ONLY HMIS system at the main hospital and the branches (2). The Main problem I have is I do not know any clear cut way to use for especially OPD (Out Patient department) (the hospital has both in(about 80 beds and growing)/out patients) but the majority is OPD averaging 500-600 per day. My fix I am finding difficulties on how a patient who makes an OPD visit goes through workflow until discharge! It sounds silly even to me but a Patient here gets registered first, then sees a nurse who takes the basic patient measurements (temp/pressure..), then send the patient to see a doctor who then recommends tests (x-ray/lab)then makes a prescription once the results are back then the patient goes to pharmacy to pick medicine then discharged/admitted for IP! Could someone give an equivalent flow within Care2x for this? (U can do this off the list if necessary) **This is specialist Children's Hospital but care2x seems to be for Adults Mainly My other issues are Pharmacy, Billing and Laboratories, Apparently the Lab Manager and techs dont seem to understand the tests in Care 2x! Are these std? The other issue is we only have one Lab therefore the splitting of labs into central etc does not make sense to them but I do not know how to consolidate the lab to one single unit. However I currently trying to understand closely how most the procedures flow so that I can prepare a training manual for the Clerks/nurses/doctors etc, Any help will be highly appreciated as I really desire to see this work at the hospital which (The Hospital IT Mgr) would like to use as a test case for the country and demo for other hospitals in the country.

Re: [Care2002-developers] AIDS ARV ART with Care2x
I follow you , for doing research you should always collect as much data as possible and never throw away 'trivial' data in advance. But in case of HIV Therapy followup, the 10 institutes/centres that i know (and for which i would like to develop an ARV module) do not hospitalize the HIV infected people. The aim of the institutes is to follow up the patients, give them appropriate therapy and keep them from getting AIDS. Besides that they do clinical studies, collect data, do research etc... Mind.. I'm not a doctor. I'm a humble software developer who happens to know some people in these institutes and i helped them to setup a simple database from which they can query some data. I'd like to help them out by merging there current way of working into Care2x to take benefits from both. matthew wrote: Roel Remember this if you get too focused you will loose capibilities you will need a future period of time.

Hi Kajal, Sounds good, we will need all the help I will try to make a first design of the functionalities of the module, I hope that Mark can help to review it to result in a good design document. Implementation can start when the design fase is finished.
