Coronavirus and recent update

Terms are already added as reference maps to diagnosis codes in CIEL. We don’t add the ICD codes directly as this emergency code was used for ANY COVID-19 diseaes. The CIEL concepts are more specific.

On Wednesday, a few community members used the OpenMRS Office Hours to talk about what is currently being done and potential OpenMRS solutions to help countries respond to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Here are some of the key points from that discussion:

  • @paul @janflowers @terry and @jennifer met with CDC on Tuesday to discuss OpenMRS’ role in responding to COVID-19 - and how CDC can assist by providing us with scientific guidance, possibly with a point person.
  • @ddesimone shared that PIH is working with their clinical team in Haiti, who have been in touch with WHO about data collection guidance.
  • @akanter has been providing updates to the CIEL concept dictionary - including one within the last 24 hours.
  • @terry agreed to compare the WHO and CDC guidance documents

Here is the link to the notes.
