Project Description
The project is intended to re-design the mUzima Teleconsultation OpenMRS Module to provide better and real-time communication between providers and consultants and provide offline communication by utilizing SMS notifications.
When a health care provider sends a consultation request using mUzima Teleconsultation App, the Teleconsultation server module generates a consultation to the respective consultant, and also sends the consultation data to the mUzima data processor queue where an encounter is generated for the patient. The consultant will review the consultation and send feedback/advice to the health care provider. The server module receives this feedback and sends it to the specific provider. Based on priorities (urgent, high, low), the server module sends notification to the consultant informing him/her of a new consultation requiring his/her attention.
