The Product Architecture Team has spent the last couple months reviewing suggested items, and we are ready to propose a 6-month roadmap to the Bahmni Governing Committee.
First I should point out that there are more developers working on Bahmni implementations than on the core product, and we expect and encourage them to work both on enhancements that included in the roadmap, and also things not explicitly prioritized here. We will opportunistically merge these things into the Bahmni product as soon as they are ready. (In other words, the fact that something is not listed here does not mean we won’t help you merge it!)
Some statistics: there were 40 suggested items in this round, 36 of which had enough detail for us to properly discuss. We did quick assessments on the March 7, March 14, and March 21 PAT calls. I did some very rough size estimates, and sorted the proposals by a very crude value vs effort score. We then discussed our plan on the April 4 and April 18 PAT calls.
Proposed Roadmap:
- 0.91 release
- Target: in <2 months
- No specific theme. Will include work that has been done recently, prior to having a defined roadmap
- Highlights:
- Bed Layout Admin UI
- Operation Theater Scheduling
- Support for reports in the OpenMRS Reporting Module
- (maybe) Enhanced IPD module
- (maybe) improved patient searches using Lucene
- 0.92 release
- Target: in 4 months (release as soon as system upgrades are ready)
- Theme: System Upgrades
- Highlights:
- As always, opportunistically include implementation-built features
- 0.93 release
- Target: in 6 months
- Themes:
- Improved access control
- Improved I18N
- Improved Sync of data from EMR to ERP
- Includes these specific items from the roadmap process:
- Role Based Access for Dashboards
- Role based access for reports
- Role based access for forms based on the department
- Patient Record Viewable to Care Stream only
- Limit data that is visible to users based on role (needs more detail)
- Ability to sync all orderables from emr to erp
- Billable Registration Fees
- Internationalization Gaps
- Multi language sync between EMR and ELIS
- As always, opportunistically include implementation-built features, probably including:
I will be presenting this proposed roadmap to the Governing Committee today/tomorrow, and will update here based on the outcome.
