A comment came from the retrospective that "nutrition for child is still awaited". Not sure whether it is the same thing or something else. Arjun can you clarify this one. The growth chart will be available in release 0.74 73 (JuneMay) because we first need the graph support.

Drawing diagrams

since Since this feature development would require a lot of effort, we would like to first verify whether this will really be used. The idea of taking picture from pre-made diagram on paper has been suggested every time this requirement comes up, but there has been no instance of doctors actually doing it. Hence we are wary of spending a lot of effort and developing something that will not be used. We should try out catalogue of paper diagrams and taking picture approach, EMR wise it has everything to support it right now.

There are errors in the data and this has lead to wrong history for certain patients. While we can put in some additional checks, this will not be completely error free. What is the solution
Do we not import the old data because it has errors
Do we live with some errors
Do we give doctors ability to correct the data when the patient visits next time? Will the doctors actually correct?
Best solution (not fool proof) is to do manual check of names before or after importing. We should do this for diabetes and TB.

Preventing infection by patients who have been tested positive in the lab

The lab paper on which the signature is done and handed over to the patient on completion of lab test, could contain a checklist which says: "should the patient wear a mask?". This would act as reminder. This checklist can be used during the lab in charge validation or lab result handover process. Eventually an event based alert would be useful in the EMR itself, but it is not planned right now.
