Facility Implementation Checklist

Below is a checklist of things that should be done and how to do them during rollout:

  1. Disable server laptop lid to hibernate/shutdown when lid is closed. This is done to protect the laptop's monitor and keyboard from dust and potential damage.

    • edit the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf and change the line #HandleLidSwitch=hibernate to HandleLidSwitch=ignore. Don't forget to uncomment the line by removing #

  2. Configure automated reporting to DHIS2 (Training Instance)

  5. Changing the login name of eRegister

    ssh in to the server with ssh openmrs@IPADDRESS and then get into the running container with sudo docker exec -it openmrseregister bash then vi /var/www/bahmniapps/i18n/home/locale_en.json and then look for LOGIN_PAGE_HEADER_TEXT variable and change it accordingly.

  6. Create usernames for all health facility staff

    • browse to IPADDRESS/openmrs and login
    • when logged in, go to Administration -> Manage Users -> Add User. Don't forget to search for the user's account before adding a new user account
    • check on appropriate roles

  7. Enabled appropriate "locations" for login into the system

    • ssh in to the server with ssh openmrs@IPADDRESS and then get into the running container with sudo docker exec -it openmrseregister bash then vi /var/www/bahmniapps/i18n/home/locale_en.json and then mysql -u root -p enter password when prompted, then use openmrs and then run this query to see all location for your site. For example if you're in Lithipeng Health Center you can run select location_id, name, description, retired from location where description like '%lithipeng%' and then you'll something like this:

    +---------------+-----------------+--------------+------------+
    | location_id | name | description | retired |
    +---------------+-----------------+--------------+------------+
    | 554 | Lithipeng HC | Lithipeng HC | 1 |
    | 555 | ART/TB Clinic | Lithipeng HC | 1 |
    | 556 | MCH Clinic | Lithipeng HC | 1 |
    | 557 | HTS General OPD | Lithipeng HC | 1 |
    +---------------+-----------------+--------------+------------+

    4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

    Then update retired to be 0 with update set location retired=0 where location_id=554 AND location_id=555 AND location_id=556 AND location_id=557;

    NB: Creation of locations is managed centrally and your role is just to enable/disable locations so that we mantain identical schemas of the database across all health facilities in the country. This will help in making Health Information Exchange easy.
