Bahmni Observation Templates

There are certain observation templates which should packaged by default with bahmni. These packaged observation templates can be divided into two categories.

  • Disease or condition specific - Things like gynaecology, cancer, tuberculosis, etc.
  • Clinical methodology based - Things like History, Examination, Discharge, etc.

The purpose for doing this is to provide a starting point for any implementation, standardise names for things like chief complaints, lifestyle (see below) in our code, reports, analysis.

Implementation

From the source control perspective this should be maintained in its own repository, may be called bahmni-clinical-content. If we decide to do this via the liquibase scripts we should define stored procs to make it easy to add/change these. Using CURL is also an option.
