The next documentation Forum will be on Tuesday, February 26th @ [4-5 pm EAT] (Dateful Time Zone Converter) - OPEN FORUM
Just a thought here, but I would think that the implementer’s guide is for systems admins and other who are trying to set up an instance of OpenMRS, it would include things like, this is server you will need to set up OpenMRS for your program. While the user guide is for the end user, those that will actually be using the software. So for example it might include, here’s how to register a patient in the reference app.
Hi @jwnasambu and @ruffjm - The implementer’s guide would go well beyond the installation of OpenMRS, but also cover how to prepare the organization for change to use OpenMRS, what steps are needed to fully implement, and how to ensure an implementation is successful. Roles that might lead this work are an HMIS Officer, M&E Lead, Implementation Specialist, etc. These people are the ones who coordinate an implementation even if they aren’t doing all of site-level work in the implementation - readiness/site assessment, preparation, orientation/champions for change, infrastructure/hardware, training, data migration, data reconstruction, quality assurance and acceptance testing at the site level, go-live, pilot to production, and ongoing monitoring & updates. Our implementation guide needs to reflect what it takes in the real world, at a site, to implement OpenMRS. This is a big project, but a very worthy one. Do we have a starting document that we’ve created for OpenMRS in the past on this?
This is the implementer’s guide we have so far. You haven’t talked about the user guide. In yesterday’s forum we learned that we have two guides that is developer and implementer’s guide. What is the origin of the user guide? which personas is it supposed to address? kindly help us we are stack
I don’t know that there is a current users guide. At AMPATH we have developed some training materials for past versions, but our current method of training is to take the users through a live version of the application and then provide one the job training.
Bahmni has EXCELLENT documentation. Here is a link to their implementors guide and user guide.
@c.antwi thanks so much, the earlier the better. Friends, kindly join us tomorrow at 8am UTC/11am EAT to iron out some issues on user persona. Your submission are highly welcome.
Its not. Only that in yesterday’s meeting we didn’t conclude on the difference between the user guide and implementer’s guide and we just wished to iron out basing on members submission on talk.
Thought this might be useful. Here’s a link to an implementer’s guide and supporting tools that we developed in eSaude for the national OpenMRS rollout in Mozambique:
