our <A href="http://soc2009.openmrs.org">summer internships for 2009</A>.
We are once again participating in Google Summer of Code. We are
also mentoring projects this summer as part of our IDRC-funded OpenMRS
Internship Program (OIP), which focuses on mentoring and capacity building in
developing countries. <o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-LEFT: 24pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0in">
<P class=MsoNormal><B>Jaoa Portela</B> from Portugal will be building a
WYSIWYG form designer for the HTML form entry module. As many in the
OpenMRS community know, we can use all the alternatives for data collection we
can find. Darius made a great module for crafting HTML-based forms as an
alternative to InfoPath and Jaoa will make form building even easier.
Primary mentor: Darius Jazayeri, Backup mentor: Daniel
Futerman.<BR><BR><B>Dilupa Munindradasa</B> from India will be
integrating a Quartz scheduler into OpenMRS. Justin created our current
scheduler that's responsible for running and managing all of the background
processes for OpenMRS. <A
href="http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/">Quartz</A> is an open-source
enterprise-level job scheduler that can further enhance our background job
processing capabilities. We've wanted to adopt Quartz for a while, but
just haven't had the time. Dilupa will be able to bring enterprise level
job scheduling to all of our OpenMRS implementations. Primary mentor:
Justin Miranda, Backup mentor: Vibha Anand.<BR><BR><B>Lu Zhuang
Wei</B> from China will be building a serialization service for OpenMRS.
Web services and some of our core reporting tools depend on the ability
to efficiently transform OpenMRS "objects" into other formats. To date,
we have been using various and sometimes redundant methods to do this work
throughout OpenMRS. By introducing a new core service into OpenMRS, Lu
will help us consolidate and improve our core code. Primary mentor: Ben
Wolfe, Backup mentor: Daniel Kayiwa.<BR><BR><B>Omar Verduga</B> from
Mexico will be building a longitudinal data review (flowsheet) module for
OpenMRS. Providers, data managers, and researchers often depend on quick
and intuitive access to historic patient data. Omar will help us build
the first version of a cutting-edge clinical data viewing tool for OpenMRS.
Primary mentor: Paul Biondich, Backup mentor: Maros Cunderlik.<BR><BR><B>Pavel
Konnikov</B> from Russia will be adding global Property types to OpenMRS.
Many different parts of OpenMRS, from modules to portlets to general
features depend on global property settings to fine-tune them to fit an
implementation's needs. Currently, managing various settings is fairly
clumsy within OpenMRS. Pavel will pave the way for much more
sophisticated handling of global property settings within OpenMRS.
Primary mentor: Dave Thomas, Backup mentor: Justin
Miranda.<BR><BR><B>Antoine Nzeyimana</B> from Rwanda will be enhancing
data synchronization by improving the process needed to create a new node.
Partners In Health has been field-testing data synchronization, which
allows multiple OpenMRS servers to share data. As the OpenMRS team works
to make this a core feature available to all implementations, one of the
challenges is improving the addition of a new server to the network.
Antoine, who helped with synchronization last year, will be joining us
again to improve this critical piece of the synchronization puzzle.
Primary mentor: Maros Cunderlik, Backup mentor: Ben
Wolfe.<BR><BR><B>Harshini Gudiwada</B> from India will be adding
role-based home page support to OpenMRS. Several implementations have
asked for the ability to have different people see a different starting screen
when logging into OpenMRS. Harshini will make this possible under the
mentorship of Saptarshi, one of last year's Google Summer of Code students.
Primary mentor: Saptashi Purkayastha, Backup mentor: Darius
Jazayeri.<BR><BR><B>Nimantha Baranasuriya</B> from Sri Lanka will be
building an audit module for OpenMRS. Any one managing large amounts of
clinical data knows that quality data requires not only safeguards to ensure
data errors are avoided wherever possible, but also tools to monitor the data
for inconsistencies or errors. Nimantha will be creating a tool that can
be used by any OpenMRS implementation to facilitate data quality monitoring.
Primary mentor: Brian McKown, Backup mentor: Mike
Seaton.<BR><BR><B>Katherin Kuan</B> from the U.S. will be building video
upload capabality for <A
href="http://www.mocamobile.org/">Moca</A> mobile devices load ultrasound
and other video media into OpenMRS. Moca has built mobile tools that
integrate with OpenMRS. Katherine will help add clinical video uploading
to the list of mobile possibilities. Primary mentor: Gari Clifford,
Backup mentors: Zack Anderson and RJ Ryan.<BR><BR><B>Jenny Liu</B> from
the U.S. will be building authentication and registration capabilities
for <A href="http://www.mocamobile.org/">Moca</A> mobile devices
integrated with OpenMRS. Several mobile solutions are being built around
OpenMRS and they all need a way to authenticate and register patients.
While working on a solution for Moca mobile devices, Jenny will help
create a standard model for mobile authorization/registration in OpenMRS for
other mobile solutions to use as well. Primary mentor: Zack Anderson,
Backup mentors: Gari Clifford and RJ Ryan.<BR><BR><B>Upul Godage</B> from
Sri Lanka will be adding active lists support to OpenMRS. Some of the
key data elements for any electronic medical record system are problem lists
and allergy lists. Upul will help make these a core part of OpenMRS.
Primary mentor: Burke Mamlin, Backup mentor: Dave
Thomas.<BR><BR><B>Robert O'Connor</B> from the U.S. will be creating
aggregate data entry tools for OpenMRS. While OpenMRS strives to build
reports from high quality patient-level data, sometimes reports depend on
aggregate data from external systems. Robert will allow implementations
to enter and manage these data within OpenMRS so they can be used by reporting
tools. Primary mentor: Mike Seaton, backup mentor: Darius
Jazayeri.<BR><BR><B>Amogha Gundavaram</B> from India will be integrating
the OpenEMPI Master Patient Index with OpenMRS. <A
href="https://openhie.projects.openhealthtools.org/">OpenEMPI</A> is an
open-source master patient index system. As organizations grow, they
often need to move control of the master patient list from the electronic
medical record system to a centralized system, such as OpenEMPI. Amogha
will help create a module or messaging solution to integrate OpenMRS with
OpenEMPI. Primary mentor: Odysseas Pentakalos, Backup mentor: Shaun
Grannis.<BR><BR><B>Saketh Bhamidipati</B> from the U.S. will be enhancing
the patient de-duplication workflow in the OpenMRS patient matching module.
As implementations grow, ending up with duplicate patient records is a
common problem. Shaun is a leader in the field of patient matching and
mentored a student last year in creating a patient matching module for
OpenMRS. This summer, Saketh will improve the interface so that patient
de-duplication will become a tool in every OpenMRS implementation's arsenal.
Primary mentor: Shaun Grannis, Backup mentor: James
Egg.<BR><BR><B>Moses Mugisha</B> from Uganda will be integrating
FrontlineSMS with OpenMRS. <A
href="http://www.frontlinesms.com/">FrontlineSMS</A> is an innovative
solution for gathering data via SMS messages, even allowing simple forms to be
sent to devices and responses collected over SMS. Moses will integrate
FrontlineSMS with OpenMRS, allowing simple form data using OpenMRS concepts to
be collected from mobile phones over SMS. Primary mentor: Daniel Kayiwa,
Backup mentor: Paul Biondich.<BR><BR><B>Felicia Rosemond</B> from the
U.S. will be adding global caching support to the OpenMRS decision support
engine. We have created a logic engine to support complex decision
support rules at a low level within OpenMRS. One of the critical
improvements needed for this service to become widely used is improved caching
of derived results. Felicia will replace the existing rudimentary
caching in the logic service with a high quality open-source caching library.

excited to announce that, thanks to the generosity of the team at <A
href="http://verio.com/">Verio.com</A>, each of our summer interns will have
access to their own public hosted server running OpenMRS within which they can
load, debug, and demonstrate real-time project progress to the rest of the
community. This will not only provide a great resource for the interns,
but will facilitate getting valuable feedback from end users. Thank you

<P class=MsoNormal>We're honored by the excellent interns listed above as well
as the many others who applied and we couldn't accommodate this summer.
We're also thankful for a great (and growing) group of OpenMRS mentors and
we're looking forward to the best summer of coding yet!<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
