Domain Model for Medical Administrative Record System(MAR) for IPD purpose

Software Bahmni

Some previous discussions on OpenMRS talk related to MAR.

  1. What is the best way to implement observations form in OpenMRS 2x?
  2. New Ideas for new OPENMRS
  3. MAR(Medication Administration Record) functionality in OpenMRS

There seems to be general agreement in the above discussions about MAR / Drug, but no specific direction on how to implement it in OpenMRS or its domain model. Most people seem to attempt it via HTML Forms Module.

I guess in Bahmni team’s case, the MAR is similar to what we see here: Old document: MAR CONCEPT NOTE (for IPD purposes, where a nurse is tracking the drug order schedule and giving drugs (with signoff), to patient as per schedule). I think if you intergate it with “tasks”, then you are also creating a “schedule” and can give “reminders” to indicate when a drug is due or missed.

I feel this is a functionality that is important for most IPD use-cases, and both OpenMRS/Bahmni will need it when deploying EMR in an IPD environment.
