Remember this if you get too focused you will loose capibilities you
will need a future period of time. Especially when you start tracking
true stastices related to patient care.

For instance it may seem superfical to track patient beds, equipment,
but when you have to start looking for the cause of a VRE or MRSA out
break in your aids patients you will ned this data because this
equipment can become the means of spreading the desease from patient to
patient.

You should collect the data and trim how you present the data to the end
user, but you should always collect the data inorder to leave your
research options open.

Re: [Care2002-developers] AIDS ARV ART with Care2x

2004-09-02 Thread Mauri Niemi
Hello,

We have also a big HIV/AIDS program and they need a program for it. 
We are now working on other features but with the co-operation of 
others we would like to use Care2x also for that program.
When we are developing Care2x we are making a single computer 
system for small clinics and I do not see it a problem. At the same time 
we are doing it to fit for bigger hospitals. On administrative lever it is 
possible to hide so much unnecessary information that we hope to use 
the same for both.

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.

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.

Have you already developed something for the AIDS program in Care2x? 
What are the most important features you are lacking in care2x for doing 
the HIV/AIDS program with it?

On administrative lever it is

That is true. So that rules out the first Disadvantage quoted below.
I was also not planning to remove those modules/functionalitities from

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. (maybe end of
september?)

I have not been involved in the AIDS program. They had their own program which is not 
very userfriendly and I do not like the idea that several programs will be installed 
in our 
system which will only confuse the users. 
But I am waiting for response from the responsible ones about requirements.
