Documentation on evaluation and forecasting features? #57

Open arztnh opened 5 years ago

arztnh commented 5 years ago

I am interested in OpenSRP's capabilities in evaluation of immunization history and forecasting of immunizations due now or in the future. The brief documentation shows a screen of "all the patient's scheduled immunization services from birth to 5 years of age" but I am trying to determine if that forecast is driven by the specific patient's record or simply the patient's age.

I apologize if this is not the correct forum in which to ask this question.

Hi there - thanks for getting in touch. The immunization schedule is tailored to each individual. So, it's primarily based on the person's age, but also their immunization history to ensure safe spacing of vaccines as well. Hope that answers your question.

Is there more documentation on this? Would love to see how the rules are defined and managed.

We have developed an Open Source evaluation and forecasting service which could be easily integrated into OpenSRP if you so desired. The rules are detailed and extensive and publicly documented:

Main public wiki page: https://cdsframework.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ICE/Home Wiki page with documentation of the rules/philosophy: https://cdsframework.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ICE/Default+Immunization+Schedule Software download/documentation page: https://cdsframework.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ICE/Downloads Test ICE Client App (good for trying out algorithm and testing web service calls): https://cdsframework.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=27820034 NVPO Upshot Award: https://www.hln.com/hlns-ice-open-source-immunization-forecaster-receives-2017-nvpo-upshot-award/
