Data Model

An explanation of the database tables is found in the OpenMRS data model image. Click on the image to zoom in and pan around. http://openmrs.org/images/5/59/Openmrs_data_model_1.10.png?format=raw

Start by scrolling to the very left and seeing the “Patient” group of tables, then “’Person/Relationship” tables, “Groups/Workflows” tables, “Encounter” tables, “Observation tables,” “Concept” tables, “Form” tables, “Order” tables, and etc…

The official documentation on the data model is found here. Click on each domain for more information. http://openmrs.org/wiki/OpenMRS_Data_Model_Documentation

Modules

Creating your own module http://openmrs.org/wiki/Creating_Your_First_OpenMRS_Module

If you want other OpenMRS modules (like the ID Card module or Form Entry module) you can get them from the OpenMRS repository located at: http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs-modules

ID Cards

Once the ID module has been installed in your instance of OpenMRS, you can print ID cards. We added the "OpenMRS Card New/Empty (Front)" template to our openmrs server. Click here to print new ID cards

1. Edit Template:
   1. Administration Tab > ID Cards > Manage Templates > Select “OpenMRS Card New/Empty (Front)” or “OpenMRS Card New/Empty (Back)”
   2. You can change the icon by editing the following code in the Xslt section: url('{$baseURL}/moduleResources/idcards/card_logo_01.png'). Just add the image you want to the web/module/resources dir.
2. Print Cards (no name, just ID numbers – intended for use in Philippines where the ID cards will be batch printed first and then assigned to a patient in real time):
   1. Administration Tab > ID Cards > Print New ID Cards
      1. Choose Number of ID cards to print
      2. Select template “OpenMRS Card New/Empty (Front)”
      3. This will print the front of all the ID cards
      4. Repeat except select the template for “OpenMRS Card New/Empty (Back)”

If you don't like the layout/look of the card, you can ask the openmrs people for more templates (they should already have many in use) since it would be a lot easier than writing your own xsl.
