Enabling Teleconsultation Appointments
Bahmni Appointment Scheduling module allows marking an appointment as Teleconsultation appointment upon which a teleconsultation link will be generated and the provider and the patient can join.
Enable Teleconsultation Appointments Feature
In your implementation specific configuration, add the allowVirtualConsultation property with value as true in the openmrs/apps/appointments/app.json file.
"config": {
"allowVirtualConsultation": true,
Now when scheduling an appointment, one can find the option to mark it as Teleconsultation as shown in the below screenshot.
Once the appointment is scheduled as teleconsultation, the meeting can be joined either from the appointments page and opening the appointment and clicking on the Join Teleconsultation button or from the appointments display control and clicking on the Join Teleconsultation button from there.
Enable Adhoc Teleconsultation
This feature is applicable starting Bahmni Lite v1.0.0 or Bahmni Standard v1.0.0
Bahmni provides the ability for a clinician to start an Adhoc Tele-consultation (on-demand) with a patient. To enable this, one needs to set allowAdhocTeleConsultation to true in /openmrs/apps/clincal/app.json in your implementation specific configuration. Note this config should be in clinical/app.json.
"config": {
"allowAdhocTeleConsultation": true,
Enabling Email Alerts for Teleconsultation
Bahmni supports sending Email notification to the patient on booking a teleconsultation appointment with the teleconsultation meeting link or when an adhoc teleconsultation is started.
For emails to be sent the patient’s email needs to be captured while registration. Add a person attribute as email and capture it during registration.
