#### Introducing the Whirlygig Module
I’ll present the new module we have developed and describe our road map for new features.
A brief update on functionality that has been added to the PIH EMR (an OpenMRS distro) in the past year, with an emphasis on functionality that either we’ve added to the Ref App (and is therefore available to Ref App users) or functionality that is ripe to “harvest” into the Ref App codebase.
Do you want to contribute to OpenMRS? Not sure how or where to begin?
In this talk we’ll explore the different ways in which you can get started with the OpenMRS, discuss the skills you need to get started and learn the best ways to get your first Pull Request accepted.
APZU EMR is Partners In Health’s OpenMRS distribution in Neno District in Malawi. We will describe some key reports used for clinical care – Integrated Chronic Care Clinic (IC3), Community Health Workers (CHW), TRACE, and missed appointments.
Partners in Health, Rwanda demonstrating the PIH Data Warehousing capability using Pentaho, MySQL, and PowerBI for up to date clinical outcomes, process indicators, and quality. This information is visualized and filtered for program leaders to explore how their program vary over time, space, and program.
We’d like to give an introduction to the mUzima for Health Providers mobile app.
We’ll have a demo session later that shows features and functionality of the mobile app.
