Hello everyone, myself Rohan and I am interested in contributing to Android Client. I was going through the provider management module in the web app but could not find the functionality of referring patients to the providers. So has this functionality not been implemented yet in the web app and if it exists please help me find it. I just wanted to see how that works in the web app so that i get a basic idea of the android implementation. Thankyou.

@codepoet2017390 Partners In Health uses the Provider Management module with the RefApp. We don’t have any features to “refer” patients to providers, but we do “assign” patients to community health workers (CHWs) or clinicians.

It looks like this on the patient dashboard (we show relationships):

It looks like this on provider management:
