There are usually two or more Active Initiatives (or Projects) at any time in Bahmni – running in different locations at their own cadence. These are independently managed and you may reach out mentioned project leads for details and/or collaboration. The Bahmni core group provides guidance and approves PRs in situations where the core Bahmni product codebase is affected. Volunteers with requisite capabilities, bandwidth and commitment are welcome! Listed below are Active, Completed and Planned initiatives. |

| 4 | Tele-consultation Appointment | Patients’ ability to consult (COVID or otherwise) is hampered because of physical distancing / restricted people movement. In many cases, healthcare service provisioning during pandemic situations can be achieved through alternative channels like Tele-consulting, which we think will ensure continuity of care, and make healthcare accessible. We want to ensure that for legitimate scenarios, healthcare services are no longer a function of distance. See discussion here. |

Cloud provider yet to be decided – AWS likely to be prioritized first. |

| 24 | Multi-tenancy for Bahmni/OpenMRS (Research ONLY)
| OpenMRS currently is single tenant (with dedicated DB per facility). This makes it costly for SaaS providers to host one instance of OpenMRS per clinic. With Multi-tenancy, the same OpenMRS/Bahmni instance should be able to support multiple clinics (20x), which will reduce operational overhead and bring down hardware costs. |

| 25 | SNOMED CT Integration as FHIR Terminology Server

OCR in Bahmni | Use OCR to extract coded data from uploaded patient documents (like Lab Results from 3rd party labs) - to display them on Bahmni Patient dashboard. |

| 38 | Centralized Metadata Management | For multi-instance, cloud deployments of Bahmni, there is a need to have a centrally managed metadata/config, so that all master data and configurations can be managed in one place, and tramitted to all Bahmni servers connected to that central instance. This will make maintenance, standardization, roll-outs and upgrades easier for “blueprint” or “templatized” hospitals – which have similar needs, or belong to a single organisation. |
