| 00:06:27 | <oys> hallo |
| 00:09:19 | <bwolfe> hi oys |
| 00:09:36 | <oys> hey dude!!! |
| 00:10:10 | <oys> i'm looking at trying to programmatically query a couple of things |
| 00:10:38 | <oys> pls are you available to answer questions? |
| 00:10:47 | <oys> Ben? |
| 00:11:57 | <oys> suppose I register a pregnant woman as patient |
| 00:12:30 | <oys> how would I query for her next scheduled encounter |
| 00:12:48 | <oys> how do I store it in the first place? |
| 00:16:57 | <bwolfe> oys: sure, I'm in and out, but will try to answer. :-) |
| 00:17:08 | <bwolfe> Context.getEncounterByPatient(patient); |
| 00:17:10 | <oys> k, thanks |
| 00:17:11 | <bwolfe> where patient is: |
| 00:17:46 | <bwolfe> Context.getPatientService().getPatientByIdentifier("123MT-2"); |
| 00:17:50 | <oys> but can I store a future encounter...how??? |
| 00:18:00 | <bwolfe> ah, I see what you are saying |
| 00:18:20 | <bwolfe> I should have read more carefully :-) |
| 00:18:47 | <bwolfe> there isn't a built-in way for openmrs to do this |
| 00:18:59 | <oys> oh!!! |
| 00:19:10 | <bwolfe> we usually store an observation on the person's last encounter with a concept named "RETURN VISIT DATE" |
| 00:19:13 | <bwolfe> so you could do |
| 00:19:28 | <bwolfe> Context.getObsService().getObsByPersonAndConcept(person, concept); |
| 00:19:41 | <oys> hmmm...how do I query for that then |
| 00:20:20 | <bwolfe> concept = Context.getConceptService().getConceptByName("RETURN VISIT DATE"); |
| 00:20:23 | <bwolfe> and person == |
| 00:20:43 | <bwolfe> person = Context.getPatientService().getPatientByIdentifier("123MT-2") |
| 00:20:50 | <bwolfe> (because a Patient extends the Person object) |
| 00:21:03 | <oys> so if I created a new concept say "scheduled visit", i could try that too |
| 00:21:27 | <bwolfe> yeah |
| 00:21:34 | <oys> concept = Context.getConceptService().getConceptByName("scheduled visit"); |
| 00:22:20 | <oys> so is this generally how one could get the answer for any stored concept in openmrs??? |
| 00:22:49 | <oys> stored values...as in answer to concept |
| 00:24:11 | <bwolfe> yeah |
| 00:24:31 | <bwolfe> An obs is one question and answer pair |
| 00:24:36 | <bwolfe> an encounter has a list of observations (obs) |
| 00:24:45 | <bwolfe> so you could also do: |
| 00:25:25 | <bwolfe> List<Obs> obsListForFirstEncounter = Context.getEncounterService().getEncounterByPatient(patient)[0].getObs(); ([0] isn't legal, just doing that for shortness here) |
| 00:27:00 | <oys> so, when u get the observation how do you get the answer out pls? |
| 00:30:05 | <oys> any link to online APIs? |
| 00:30:55 | <oys> k...http://resources.openmrs.org/doc/ |
| 00:43:51 | <bwolfe> oys: yeah, thats the javadoc for the latest trunk release (those javadocs are built every 8 hours I think) |
| 00:44:31 | <bwolfe> oys: the downloads page: http://openmrs.org/wiki/Downloads also links to the latest stable javadocs: http://resources.openmrs.org/doc-1.4 |
| 00:44:56 | <bwolfe> (to answer your question) an Obs object has getValueAsString() which will give you the answer |
| 00:45:19 | <bwolfe> or if you want a specific object answer to the Obs, it has getValueCoded(), getValueNumeric(), getValueText(), etc, etc |
| 00:45:23 | <oys> hmmm...just looked at the API |
| 00:45:47 | <oys> this means I must know in advance the datatype of the value?? |
| 00:46:55 | <oys> whether text, numeric or... |
| 00:47:51 | <oys> cant find any getAnswer()...looks like someone wanted to change that |
| 00:48:57 | <bwolfe> getValueAsString is the closest you will get to that oys |
| 00:50:49 | <oys> thanks...you've been very helpful!!! |
| 00:51:26 | <bwolfe> oys: what are you working on? |
| 00:53:51 | <oys> I'm looking to see where I can read on the data model |
| 00:54:08 | <oys> gush...trying to navigate this wiki |
| 00:54:26 | <bwolfe> oys: just use the search |
| 00:54:30 | <bwolfe> search for data model |
| 00:54:45 | <oys> aha!!! |
| 00:55:06 | <oys> I'm working on a mobile solution |
| 00:55:39 | <oys> and is the webservice kicking? |
| 00:55:58 | <oys> can I work through your webservice too? |
| 00:56:49 | <bwolfe> oys: we do not publish any web services |
| 00:56:56 | <bwolfe> we publish a way for web services to be written |
| 00:57:17 | <bwolfe> there is a module that adds web service _ability_ (search for webservices on the wiki) |
| 00:57:37 | <bwolfe> there is a module that adds a few REST calls too. but it only has stuff for Patient right now I think |
| 00:58:04 | <oys> k...will see how I can write a webservice for retrieving obs answers |
| 00:58:26 | <oys> is that easily possible through your 'steriod' module |
| 00:58:59 | <bwolfe> steroid? |
| 00:59:04 | <bwolfe> what do you mean? |
| 00:59:20 | <bwolfe> it definitely would be possible, yes |
| 00:59:38 | <oys> i mean your 'base' module that gives steroids to webservices |
| 00:59:39 | <oys> lol |
| 01:00:00 | <oys> just read through that |
| 01:00:09 | <oys> on the module doc page |
| 01:00:22 | <oys> has anybody used that? |
| 01:00:44 | <oys> used your module as the basis for such work? an examples? |
| 01:03:44 | <oys> any example? |
| 01:06:41 | <oys> see you are busy |
| 01:06:49 | <oys> thanks much for your help |
| 01:06:56 | <bwolfe> oys, ping my username to get my attention :-) |
| 01:07:04 | <bwolfe> oys there is the examplewebservice module |
| 01:07:15 | <bwolfe> oys and examplepatientstub |
| 01:07:41 | <oys> oh...thanks |
| 01:07:47 | <bwolfe> I'm running down to grab some dinner, bbl |
| 01:08:27 | <oys> k...tnx its alomst morning here (yawns) |
| 01:08:53 | <oys> catch you later...you'll see my work in a week |
