The document discusses associating patient address coordinates from their address or GPS and rendering patient data on maps using APIs from Google Earth and Maps. It also describes filtering patient data by attributes and advantages of storing spatial data in GeoServer for accessibility and scalability.
OpenMRS and GIS
- 1. Associating Coordinates to Patients 1 ) Patient address goes into the system 2 ) If the address is valid then get the coordinates 3 ) Associate the coordinates to the patient's address umudugudu_id latitude longitude 0104020507 -1.9534521 30.651238 … … … address_id precision lat lon 34 1 -1.9534521 30.651238 … … …
- 2. Associating Coordinates to Patients This patient's coordinates were derived from their address This patient's coordinates were collected at their house with a gps device address_id precision lat lon 34 1 -1.9534521 30.651238 237 0 -1.9812122 30.234525
- 3. Using The Google Earth and Maps API Public internet connection Retrieve patient data in JSON Retrieve imagery from Google Web Browser Patient data
- 4. Rendering Data In The Google Earth API
- 5. Clicking on an icon renders patient data including great circle distance to the hospital Interactive Maps Using The Google Maps API
- 6. Filtering The Data Filtering by CD4 count, on time CD4, Distance to Hospital, Time Since Last Visit
- 7. Open Source Spatial Data Infrastructure PostGIS Shape Files GeoServer OpenLayers WMS Module Data Sources WMS/WFS WMS/WFS Imagery uDig (Desktop App)
- 8. Advantages of GeoServer No dependence on a connection to the internet Having spatial data outside of OpenMRS is more scalable Data is accessible from any application capable of communicating in WMS or WFS format
- 9. uDig Displaying Data From GeoServer
- 10. OpenMRS Displaying Data From GeoServer Using OpenLayers
