OpenMRS Encounter Audit Module Final Presentation

Community GSoC
1

Hi Everyone,

I’m posting my final presentation for the Encounter Audit Module here. It has been a great summer and I have learned a ton from my mentors Mike and Cosmin and the OpenMRS community. After spending the better part of a year as an OpenMRS implementer, it has been great to be exposed to the development side of OpenMRS. I learned a lot of the necessary technologies from the ground up and became much more fluent in other languages/frameworks. It has also been exciting to see all the great projects that other GSoC student have worked on - everyone has been doing such impressive work.

The Encounter Audit Module has met or exceeded most of the goals so far for the summer. This module needs some more work before we can release it, but I am working with my mentors on a plan to keep developing it. I’ve gotten feedback that this tool could be really useful at some implementations. If you think this module could be useful to you, I welcome your comments on how the presented workflow applies to your site and what changes would need to be made to make the module functional.

Thank you!

Steve
