- Akhil Malhotra
- Gurpreet Luthra
Objective
At the heart of any enterprise electronic medical record system lies a robust, explicit representation of how care information is stored. The structure of this data model dictates the scalability and flexibility of a system. This training will provide a detailed overview of the most important Bahmni data model entities (like Patient, Visit, Encounters, Concepts) and underlying Database schema. This will enabled users to understand the richness associated with a Patient and Clinical Data.

- Clinical Terminology as Concepts: Concept, concept_name.
- Visits and Storing Clinical Data as Observations: Obs, encounter, encounter_type, visit, visit_type,
- Patient Identifier Tables: idgen_identifier_source, idgen_seq_id_gen
