Flowsheet Code Jam in Chennai
Here’s a shout out to our friends at ThoughtWorks. They had a code jam on the Flowsheet Module a few weeks ago and knocked out over half a dozen key tickets in a single day as well as making progress on others. The Flowsheet Module is being installed into OpenMRS at AMPATH in Kenya to allow both data managers and providers convenient access to their patients’ data and to help improve the efficiency and quality of care for the over 300,000 patients within the system… thanks to: Khaarthigha S, Rajiv RA, Pavithra K, Geetha B, Saravana K, Arvind Kumar C, Senthil V S, Prabha P, Shanum, Ponnulingam R, Alexal, Vinoth KR, Nithyan, Gobinath T, Balaji G, Ragavan G, and Chandru. You all rock! And it looks like you had some fun in the process. I especially enjoyed the image of two laptops per lap!
Logic-a-thon Wrap-up
This was a great hack-a-thon. We tackled a lot of different issues for the logic service. Unfortunately, a number of these will require additional effort to be completed.
We knocked out some of the simpler tickets:
- Rules tokens need to be case insensitive (#1104)
- Encounter datasource expansion (#1105)
- Creating an Operand interface (#1106)
We made some decisions (like not moving Result methods to a utility class) and we make some serious inroads (including code) on how to solve some of the more difficult issues (persisting tokens #924, persisting token tags #969, caching issues #1107, and changing “today” within criteria #929).
All-in-all. A great job by all involved! A special thanks to Tammy for making it a success!
OpenMRS Logic-a-thon
So far, so good at the OpenMRS! To our surprise, we’re actually getting code written. We’re not sure if it’s because of Tammy’s amazing prep work or because Paul & Hamish couldn’t make it. 🙂
Looking forward to tomorrow…
