| Abstract | |
|
OpenMRS has a sophisticated data entry engine that allows administrators to define new medical concepts/questions, place them on electronic forms, and then gather data for the new concepts without any programming steps. Our existing solution depends on Microsoft's InfoPath® for both form design and data entry. While InfoPath can handle very complicated forms and has served us very well, the process of implementing new forms requires a fair amount of time and expertise. So, when new data are needed quickly, some implementations still turn to Microsoft Access® or other familiar, low-barrier systems to gather data and then they are challenged with trying to import or merge those data later. So, OpenMRS is looking for data entry alternatives. One of these alternatives could be the Groovy Form Module. The goal of this module would be to provide an agile method for creating simple/small web forms for gathering data and using the OpenMRS API to store those data.
