Work in progress
This is page is a work in progress. This info bubble will be removed once the TWG feels it is complete.
This page presents real world integration experiences that the team has collated. This information serves as background to help others understand some of the values and workflows created by this TWG.
Bidirectional OpenMRS → CommCare Integration
Dimagi built a point-to-point connection between CommCare and OpenMRS using the existing APIs. OpenMRS is the source of truth for this integration. The workflow focuses on exporting a list of people for community follow-up and entering them in to CommCare. Information collected in CommCare gets sent to OpenMRS as encounters and observations. CommCare is not responsible for creating new patients as part of this workflow.
Referral Workflow
Referrals are when a patient is referred from a community to a central health facility or visa versa so that they can receive care that that team can provide. Referrals are a package of information sent from the CHIS to the EMR in this instance.
Generic Steps:
- User collects a form in the mobile app
- Mobile app syncs to the central data repository
