[jthomas (Jamie Thomas)]

Today’s design forum will have two topics; 1. Provider Role and Create Provider account inconsistent 2. Concept Attributes. If you have a topic you would like to discuss on a future design forum please post it here. @ayeung @k_joseph @akhilmalhotra

Provider/Privilege Role and Create provider account inconsistent

@slubwama, i have decided to start a post about this since we have reproduced it together and you delayed to. Our Roles and privileges support adding Provider rights to a given user which i think was used before we introduced the Provider object in the platform, From when we added the provider table it looks like we now have to manually Create a Provider accounts for users in-order to assign them Provider rights which as well seems to have phased out the Provider Role and Manage Provider privil…

Attributes for concepts

Dear All, Can OpenMRS concepts support attributes something like attributes for person or provider or visit? I believe it will for better definition of concepts. think of defining concept for a test. With attributes we can define important aspects like scale, method, components, body sites etc. it would be great if we can specify what attr apply to what classes of concept. In BD SHR project we use OpenMRS concept dictionary for terminology mgmt. While in many cases it suffices, but with custo…

@ayeung @k_joseph should we reschedule this?

[darius (Darius Jazayeri)]

No need to reschedule. We covered this in the second half of Monday’s design forum. We assigned Ada and AMPATH some work to do. Basically, they went through a painful process of switching from relying on the user role of “Provider” to using the newer OpenMRS 1.9-era Provider. They think that having better tools to make the transition will same a lot of time for other implementers.

The devs on the call agreed completely, and think that Ada and other AMPATH implementers are the best positioned to define what tools and documentation would have made things easier.
