We would like to integrate it with Bahmni. This bed management module has enhanced features like separating bed management and admission functionalities. Under bed management, users can assign tags like to beds. The UX for the layout of beds has been enhanced and tags can be color coded. Using this module, additional details like Estimated Date of Discharge, Reason to discharge can also be captured. Please go through it and give us your valuable feedback.
Thanks Pramida. Have added some inputs to the sheet.
Can the two modules work together or this enhanced one you are proposing overwrites the existing one?
Also some of the enhancements you describe would be more clear after trying it out. Is there a place where this is deployed and accessible publicly for someone to try it out?
@arjun Thank you for the feedback. This enhanced bed management module was developed as a separate app and is using the same appointments module version as the existing one. So, ideally both the modules should work together.
Currently we donât have any public environment with these modules but we can help you with the installation instructions. Below are the links for our github repositories:
Bhamni Apps: https://github.com/bahmni-msf/openmrs-module-bahmniapps
Operation Theater module: https://github.com/bahmni-msf/openmrs-module-operationtheater
Bed management omod is same as the one that comes with Bahmni version 0.90
@pramidat sorry that Iâm only getting to look at this now!
My overall comment is that this document is pretty hard to understand for someone who is not already very familiar. It would be very helpful to have a quick video or a series of screenshots that shows the happy path of the 80% workflow.
@pramidat, can you all do a quick test of using that OWA to create/edit some beds, and verify that it works correctly with your new bed management app?
(In other words, is the API and data model for this Bed Management UI the same as for the older IPD app?
Comments from watching the video: (Iâm not an expert on this, so a lot of these are generic UI comments)
âAdmitâ and âAssign Bedâ are not exactly the same thing. E.g. first the doctor would give an admission order, and then someone else assigns the bed. I know that you know this, and you capture that in your demo with the âTo Admitâ queue. But later you use the terminology Admit/Transfer/Discharge one-to-one with bed assignment. I would consider changing the terminology to be clearer about what this app is actually doing.
What is âAdmission Masterâ? Is that a job title? I would expect some text like âselect a wardâ here
after you click on General Ward, and see the room under it, the UI should show a stronger hint about the hierarchy. Also, a stronger hint that the thing on the left is the total of all the things on the right. (Or alternately, no need to show the Total if thereâs only a single thing at this level.)
can you share a quick screenshot of what this looks like if thereâs >1 room in the ward?
does this support exactly this number of levels (ward -> room -> beds), or is it flexible?
âAdmitâ doesnât seem like the right title for the link at the top of the page. Maybe itâs âADTâ or âBed Assignmentsâ?
When assigning a bed, the patient context is too subtle.
Once youâve chosen someone from the to admit queue, I might want some kind of UI hint like âselect a bed to assignâ
Changing the patient context by clicking on an occupied bed seems like a dangerous change thatâs subtle and easy to miss. One possible UI approach is to do a toast message saying âSelected a different patientâ with an Undo option. (Or alternately donât change the selection if youâre in the pick-bed-to-assign action.)
After discharging a patient, I would expect to continue seeing the ward they were in (instead of having the right pane reset itself)
Using color to both indicate tags and available/occupied looks like a mistake. (Also, what happens if one bed gets multiple tags?)
What do privileges look like for this? I imagine some implementations might want to require a higher privilege to change bed tags, vs just to assign beds.
We have configured enhanced bed management module at https://52.66.128.175/bahmni/home/index.html#/login. The old bed management module is named as âInPatientâ and enhanced bed management module is named as âBed Managementâ. Please go through it.
I have few feedbacks on new bed management module :
Bed assignment : As a user to admit the patient, I am clicking on Admit button with out selecting the bed which throws an error. On the UI, Admit is the button which catches the attention and user will get an error as there is no bed selected. Even after getting the error it is not clear how to select the bed as the tabs are not in expanded state. There too many clicks involved for bed assignment.
Transferring the patient from one bed to another : The transfer button does not gets activated if the occupied bed is selected. As the user I would select the patient first (occupied bed) then click on transfer button and then select the available bed. Here the flow is first select the occupied bed and then empty bed(which needs to be assigned) and then click on transfer button. It might be little challenging for the users especially when navigating between the tab, as they might get confused if the transfer can happen between the wards.
Total Beds : Total beds available in each âWard" is appearing like a tab and feels like a clickable link.
List View : User cannot perform any operation like Transfer, Discharge from list view.
How can we configure bed tags? I am using bahmni 0.90 version and I am trying to use the enhanced bed management UI. I configured most of the needed UIs and it displays nice as required.
By default no tags are shown other than Available and Occupied. I wanted to display other tags like Isolation, Lost, etc. So, I added them in the bed_tag table of openmrs. But the tags are not displayed in the bed management. Should I have to do anything more?
The bed-type name has a max length of 10 characters. What is a good max length for bed-type name? Is 30 characters sufficient?
The error message doesnât say what is the max length allowed. Just says max {0}.
Both should be fixed.
Also - I am not able to see Bed Type (deluxe) on the Bed Management screen. What is the purpose of assigning a bed-type to a bed if it isnât visible?
