components in action and services

Reference Implementation: Java (archive)
1

Hello to all.

I dont know if all of you are subscribers of the tech list. So Ill present myself again:

Im a psychologist from Brazil and Im ahead of the GestorPsi Project (www.gestorpsi.com.br)
We will develop a management system for psychology services.
The system will be opensource

After knowing openEHR the only thing I want is to develop GestorPsi as an openEHR system.

The problem is that we have a close dead line (for the admin part of the system) and that Im a psychologist not a developer.

Our developers spent the last week reading openEHR specs and as of now, the chances to be able to develop openEHR are minimal

We are about to start the development (programing), so what Ill ask here can improve our chances or to make sure that we wont be able at all.

1 - Those java components. Is there a way to make them run in any way? is it possible to “insert data and see data coming out”?
If we can see something happening I think that it will be easier to understand.
Ive searched the list archives and there are messages like:
Parsing of UTF-8 archetypes , getting the concept name , Possible error in ADL-parser

Its look like people are running something.
Can you give us instructions on how to run those components or any component?

3- If we think about a complete system, what still need to be done?
eg: need to develop the GUI model

2- Our schedule is to deliver an Administration Management system by May 2008. No EHR yet. (that will be may 2009)
So I think that regarding an openEHR system that would be a demographic service and a archetype service (for Admin entry only)

Does this make the job any easier regarding the RM and AM ?

The only things that we have to do is create a system to manage the clients demographics and to manage appointments , admission, dismission and payments.

Hi Oliver,

The aim of the Java project is to provide reference open source implementation of all design specifications in Java programming language. We also aim to provide a full-blown EHR demonstrator in the future and we are working towards that goal. What’s currently available is a list of Java components that can be used as building blocks for a complete EHR system. More specific comments blow.

These Java components are all running and properly maintained. There are commercial R&D projects, academic research projects and tools/applications built on top of these components.

Its look like people are running something.

Well, there is the draft road map for the Java project that you might find useful. http://svn.openehr.org/ref_impl_java/TRUNK/docs/roadmap.htm
It will soon be moved into the wiki space. For individual components, you need to look into their APIs and test cases to start with. If you have more specific questions, don’t hesitate to post them on the list.

3- If we think about a complete system, what still need to be done?

Yes, there are plans to add a web-based presentation layer and a proper persistence layer to the Java implementation. If you and your team would like to contribute, it would be great!

A generic solution like archetype-based system does make the job easier particularly in the maintenance stage of the development. The major challenge here I think is for the development team to grasp the openEHR design within short time frame and deliver the solution on time. Reuse of existing Java components will certainly save you some time. If we can identify some commonly needed components that don’t exist now, we can perhaps have joint development effort on them.
