    • Type: Bug
    • Status: New
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Labels:

    • Environment:

      OpenMRS 2.3

      mUzima 1.8.1 SNAPSHOT

      I think the problem is universal across mUzima versions.

      Description

      As noted in PIH-mUzima calls with Joshua Byiringiro , currently a patient merged within OpenMRS will not be merged as more data comes in from mUzima. Within OpenMRS, when a two patients are merged, the patient being merged 'from' is voided with a person.void_reason of form 

      Merged with patient #2255

      . mUzima (in my understanding) has a tablet-based uuid for each patient and maps this to the OpenMRS uuid of the patient with the table muzima_registration_data. Whether the patient is voided or not, mUzima module will add the information to the mapped patient in OpenMRS.

       

      A possible solution to this is to add a check step before information from mUzima goes to the database. 1) is the person voided. 2), do the person have a void reason like "Merged with patient #%".

      If TRUE-TRUE,  (pseudo-SQL)

       

      UPDATE muzima_registration_data.assigned_uuid=
          (SELECT uuid from person where person_id=
              RIGHT({{void reason}}, len(void_reason)-find("#",void_reason))
          )

       

      IF TRUE-FALSE, add patient to error queue with error: 'the patient has been voided within OpenMRS' and the options to "merge data with voided patient" or "select patient to merge data to". (The selecting patient I think is lower priority)

       

      Background: so far, there are 17 patients in Rwanda cancer screening program for whom this would apply. I have not checked if any data since the merge has come from mUzima. Not the highest priority, but I hope this makes clear one option.
