Hi @judy, just wanted to get your opinion on the RadiologyReport object we are creating in the radiology module. How would you call the provider writing the report? - personally I would go with **author** - **principalResultsInterpreter** as done by [https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-radiologyapp/blob/master/api/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/radiologyapp/RadiologyReport.java#L30](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-radiologyapp/blob/master/api/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/radiologyapp/RadiologyReport.java#L30) - other suggestion? And since we start with a simple free text report we have a string holding the actual report. Should we simple call it **reportBody** like: > sounds right to me. ---

There are two levels of report writers 1. The person that may write it on paper and someone else is typing the report in the system (Transcribed by / Transcriptionist) 2. The person who interprets the study - so maybe **principalResultsInterpreter** is more close to the description. I am also ok with the author Any preference from @mogoodrich or @mseaton ---

Principal Results Interpreter comes from the HL7 field that transports this value, so I figured it was a typical medical term for specifically noting the “author” of a report. I don’t a huge preference of that over author. Bigger question though–would it make sense to try to migrate RadiologyReport (and other domain objects) from RadiologyApp module into the Radiology module, rather than have two separate “Report” modelling? Take care, Mark ---

The thing is our object is modeled a bit different. PR is pending, since functionality is not yet totally bug free, you can see the RadiologyReport as it is at the moment here [https://github.com/thomas-burko/openmrs-module-radiologydcm4chee/blob/RAD-116/api/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/radiology/report/RadiologyReport.java](https://github.com/thomas-burko/openmrs-module-radiologydcm4chee/blob/RAD-116/api/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/radiology/report/RadiologyReport.java) difference is we have a report status. So a user can claim reporting an order once the order is complete and has a study with images. This ensures no one else will report the same study. The report is than in status claimed and the user can edit as long as he wants, like a draft. Once the user is happy with it he puts the report into status complete. We also dont have any concept members. The imaging procedure is stored with the RadiologyOrder as concept and we dont have a report type so far. I dont think we can simply migrate RadiologyReport and your other domain objects with the features we (@judy) have currently in mind. Not sure what the best way would be to go about this. ---

@mogoodrich I think we would need to find a common ground for the functionality we want the module to have and see what of the existing domain objects, services from the radiology app should go into the radiology module and what changes would need to be done in the radiology app. If you would like we could create a radiology task force/design group? 🙂 currently we have a lot of helping hands who want to get started, so we would need to decide soon on how to proceed. otherwise I guess the modules will diverge. @judy wants to deploy it in Malawi in June which is soon and we havent released the module yet since it still lacks stability and features. ---

I am traveling until 12th March, we could schedule our first meeting sometime after that. any preferences? would you like to make those meetings every two weeks? or should we just hold our first meeting and discuss this then. ---
