Feedback
Last week @chintu asked for more feedback on his work so far. Here’s a screenshot of how it’s progressing:
Demo video:Here’s my main feedback and questions:
-
Ready for Next Release (with testing): As a general view-only overview of the patients’ history, it’s great. I’d like to get this into the very next O3 Release. @chintu @anon54923432 could you put this behind a feature flag for now at least, or even pop it into dev3 directly without a feature flag? (@chintu please just test it a bunch
see if you can force it to do anything weird! ) -
Expires Date (Most Important point of feedback): While I’d say this is fine as the “MVP”, what’s really missing to elevate this to a level that will really help providers is showing the " Date coverage expires / Valid until" date. (And then making it red if that date is in the past.) What needs to happen in order for us to show this information? Are we waiting on some kind of backend variable? Do you just need a concept for “Valid until” to support the Entry/Edit form itself?
- Dennis mentioned a while ago that in the Immunizations FHIR resource, you couldn’t find a “valid until” field. Do you just need either (a) for me an Ian to suggest an alternative FHIR resource, or (b) for us to invent something in the OpenMRS data model? Or a concept for it?
- Yes, there is an expiration date which is already being recorded in the form, but it falls under vaccination batch information, so it’s not about the patient’s immunization coverage timeline - it’s literally just about the expiry date of the vial/injection itself used to inject/insert into the patient. So yeah, not the same

-
App order: Please move the history view up so it’s above the entry/edit widget. Why: It’s easier to skim than the edit/entry widget, and the other open source EMR that guided our design for this follows a similar pattern.
-
Horizontal Scroll Bar: As soon as there is data that goes past the user’s horizontal screen display, can we please show the Horizontal Scroll Bar by default (so not on hover)? This is to make it easier for the vast majority of our users who do not have a trackpad that easily responds to left/right horizontal scroll hand movements. (Most users are on a very old desktop with an old or simple mouse, or on a tablet.)
-
Immunization App Text: Please update the text so instead of “Single Dose on [date]”, it says “Last dose [date], Dose # [dose number]”, as shown in the image below. This is more clear for users
-
The “More than 10” Bug: Dennis mentioned a while ago that in the immunization widget, when adding vaccinations or doses, if more than 10 entries are added, the form accepts them but doesn’t display entries beyond the 10th. Did you already fix this? If not, please fix

CCing @reagan @fanderson @mseaton @ddesimone @michaelbontyes and anyone else interested in case they have further feedback for this wonderful GSOC student and his work ![]()
