Re: [Gnumed-devel] Structured input form

[Vaibhav Banait]

Hi
When I looked at the data of my hep b patients, I felt though data was ok for 
managing patient clinically, it lacked many details which might have been 
useful for publications as i am a lazy (in writing and typing ) person, I have 
used many subjective terms rather than values (eg high viral load, elevated 
liver enzymes), missed important inputs (exposure history at times ) as it may 
not be relevant in treatment of patients, but nevertheless would be important 
when you start analysis of data for publications. Therefore other way of 
documenting soap would be to use readymade questionnaire where you have to 
answer yes no or select options . This could be achieved using epiinfo 7 forms, 
but that means I will be duplicating my work in gnumed and epiinfo. that will 
be sheer waste of time. If I can create a form to be used as my casesheet 
instead of' soap inside gnumed, that becomes the best option. for that gnumed 
should allow creation of questionnaire, and automated database as epiinfo 
allow. The other way out would be to use epiinfo as emr. I am not sure how? 
Neither I think it will be possible. I would like to know your input./ 
suggestions.

I would look at OpenClinica and Limesurvey. OC has a SOAP interface which can 
interact with GNUmed. Limesurvey can be scripted to interact with GNUmed.
