On Wednesday, we had a great virtual round of [Lightning Talks on OpenMRS COVID-19 solutions!](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/2020-04-15-covid-19-lightning-talks/27961) A huge shout out to @ibacher, @ball, @ddesimone, @burke, @sanjayap, @anant, @aojwang, @danfuterman for your presentations.

Next step: @burke and I will work on making each Lightning Talk available as an individual video to post on our Wiki. In the meantime, you can [watch the hour-long round via this link](https://iu.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/2020-04-15+OpenMRS+COVID-19+Virtual+Lightning+Talk/1_wlblp44r).

During the weekly COVID-19 Response squad meeting, we debriefed the Lightning Talks and talked about the implications for our work towards a COVID-19 Public Health Response module or distribution:

- Agreed that there were common themes across the presentations - forms, reporting
- Look into sharing code on GitHub so that others can leverage the great work being done in the community
- Create a [COVID-19 Form Bank](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/projects/COVID-19+Form+Bank) - check out what @ball has already added to our Wiki!
- Consider organizing the tools into classes - a category of forms for patients, reports and dashboards, etc
- Explore packaging the forms, recognizing that this would be a heavy lift
- @ibacher, @hamish and @ball are going to review the forms from the Lightning Talks
