Major changes to radiologydcm4chee

dear @mogoodrich and @mseaton,

thanks for the hint, I intensely browsed these repos from the beginning I worked on the module :slight_smile: And it also seems that we agree on whats generic for adding radiology support to OpenMRS!

I incorporated

  1. and parts of 3), there are however slight differences in the objects. We do not use any helpers so far. Visits and Encounters is something we need to improve on. We are looking into the EMRAPI module to help us out with this, which you are using. A major difference of course is how communication with the PACS is handled. We are sending HL7 messages directly without using Mirth as a communication server.

UI: we are still relying on the legacy UI. We have forms to enter radiology orders, and see a list of all the orders with filtering options.

Current & Future:

  1. we are currently working on reporting of completed orders

  2. adding an optional review step into reporting

  3. attach radiology orders to existing encounter, active visit

  • Further down the line REST API

Try to religiously update JIRA and the wiki. I will definitely include you guys in any discussion moving forward. It would be great to get one module providing generic radiology functionalities for others to build on.


Just to come back to the original post I think there is no objection to rename the github repo to https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-radiology, so far :slightly_smiling:
