Relationship between OpenMRS objects
- VivekV
Considering each encounter type as a type of service provided to patient. It is possible that more such relationships would be required. Since the data volume is less should we model this in a single table instead of separate table for each type of relationship. There should services around this data which can answer questions like as provided in the description below.
| Object | Object | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Program (m) | Program Departments | On user login to a location, narrow down the programs which are serviced from that location |
| Program | Encounter Type (m) | Program Services | Each program could have a list of encounter types and when saving an encounter the type is derived from it |
| Location | Encounter Type (m) | Department Services | Each location could have a list of encounter types, if no program is used then encounter type is picked based on the location |
| Program | Form (m) | Program Forms | In the context of a program, provide only the choice of forms associated to it. |
| Location | Order Type (m) | Order Points | Each location may be responsible for fulfilling certain orders. |
