As decided in Dec 2014 that various doctors would divide this work, provide the list and correct the diagnosis for their specific areas. There has been no progress in this direction. With Diabetes, we took a different approach to see if it would work, i.e. to define diagnosis disease by disease. It worked well with diabetes and we had 5 diagnosis defined for it, which is what we have in production. But with TB this has failed, because of number of diagnosis involved in TB. Before we take a more ambitious target, the doctors should try to create diagnosis list for TB. Unfortunately TW would not be able to help much because it needs medical understanding. We will find out There is a list of 400 360 diagnosis at a Nepal's government hospital. Vivek will provide this soon, which we will/have sent to JSS.

growth chart
A comment came from the retrospective that "nutrition for child is still awaited". The The growth chart will be available in release 0.73 (May) because 73 because we first need the graph support first.
Drawing diagrams
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 at times when 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.

The issue with culture report is that it is hard to automatically generate a form like for other obsobservations, because of it is two (multi) dimensional nature. This is same as issue we are facing with Leprosy. But we do think that we may have a design break through breakthrough and we might be able provide a real solution for this soon (before 0.75). But in the meanwhile if there is a simple solution then we should go for it. file upload, or registration enteringSome suggestions here are uploading the file which is received and along with entering some key fields if required.
Too much information on dashboard
Different doctors have different views on how much information should be shown on the dashboard. The key areas of contention are lab results and drug orders. We are showing information from for 1 visit. What this also means is that when there is nothing in the current visit then it shows from the last visit. But we are showing Irrespective it shows everything from the chosen visit. This information becomes a lot for in-patients. Our recommendation is that we show only one -(last) accession and last day’s drug order. We will get this done in 0.71 release. Lets see if the users still feel that there is too much information on dashboard.
Some of controls can be optimised to use the space available to them on the dashboard which are not using currently. https://trello.com/c/maPX33ck/1870-display-controls-should-use-the-space-available-from-hidden-controls . lets see afterwards what to do to make it better further.
