2. Prerequisites & Security Access Groups#

• Required Modules: smarterp_healthcare, smarterp_clinical_core, smarterp_pharmacy
• Security Groups:
  • Healthcare Receptionist (Technical ID: smarterp_healthcare.group_medical_receptionist)
  • Physician / Attending Doctor (Technical ID: smarterp_healthcare.group_medical_doctor)
  • Pharmacy Dispenser (Technical ID: smarterp_healthcare.group_medical_pharmacist)
• Master Data Dependencies: Patient master registry (Medical Record Number - MRN), EFDA drug formulary, Ethiopian Ministry of Health (MoH) HMIS disease codes, and EHIS insurance tariffs.

3. Step-by-Step Configuration & Execution#

Step 1: Navigating to the Module Interface#

1. Log into your SmartERP instance at https://smarterp.et/odoo.

Step 2: Creating and Parameterizing Records#

1. Click the New button in the top-left control panel.
2. Complete the mandatory fields in the record form:
   • Medical Record Number (MRN) (Mandatory): Unique national health identifier or generated hospital record code
   • Patient Demographics (Mandatory): Full legal name, gender, date of birth, and Kebele residential location
   • Encounter Type (Mandatory): Outpatient (OPD), Inpatient (IPD), Emergency, or Triage consultation
   • Attending Physician (Mandatory): Licensed healthcare practitioner responsible for clinical encounter
3. Configure optional operational parameters and localized tags as required:
   • Insurance Provider & Policy (Optional): EHIS CBHI/SHI policy or corporate credit contract
   • Triage Vital Signs (Optional): Blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and SpO2
   • ICD-11 / HMIS Diagnosis Code (Optional): Standardized diagnosis category for statutory health reporting
4. Click the Save icon in the control bar to commit the record.

Step 3: Validating and Processing Transactions#

• State Transitions: Execute operational state progression (Reception / Triage → Consultation → Lab / Radiology → Prescription → Billing / Discharge).
• Ledger & System Impact: Patient billing registers medical service revenue, debits patient or insurance accounts receivable, and debits pharmaceutical inventory upon prescription dispensing.
• Audit Verification: Automated recording of author ID, timestamp, and immutable revision history.

National Health Management Information System (HMIS)#

Ethiopian healthcare institutions must submit monthly, quarterly, and annual performance indicators to the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Regional Health Bureaus. SmartERP eliminates manual tally sheets by calculating statutory indicators directly from transactional EMR, laboratory, pharmacy, and billing records.

Automated HMIS Indicator Aggregation#

1. Navigate to Healthcare > Reports > Statutory MoH Reports > Monthly HMIS.
2. Select the reporting period (e.g., Ethiopian Calendar Month Meskerem 2019).
3. Click Compile HMIS Matrix.
4. The system calculates indicators across standard national modules:
   • OPD-1: Total outpatient attendance (disaggregated by age: $< 5$ years, $\ge 5$ years, and gender).
   • IPD-1: Inpatient admissions, bed days, discharges, cure rate, and hospital mortality rate.
   • MCH-1 through MCH-8: First ANC visits, 4th ANC visits, institutional deliveries, skilled birth attendance, cesarean section rate.
   • EPI-1: Fully immunized children under 1 year of age.
   • Morb-1: Top 10 causes of outpatient and inpatient morbidity coded by ICD-10.

DHIS2 Direct Electronic Integration#

SmartERP connects directly to the national DHIS2 instance using REST API webhooks:

flowchart LR
    A["SmartERP EMR & HIS"] --> B["HMIS Data Aggregator Engine"]
    B --> C["Validation & Discrepancy Gate"]
    C --> D["DHIS2 Data Value Set (JSON/XML)"]
    D --> E["National MoH DHIS2 Server"]

1. Review the compiled indicators on the verification dashboard.
2. Resolve any internal consistency warnings (e.g., number of deliveries exceeding number of female admissions).
3. Click Export DHIS2 DataValueSets.
4. Select direct API transmission or download the encrypted XML payload for manual upload in facilities with intermittent internet connectivity.

4. Advanced Configuration Points#

• Automated Actions & Scheduled Tasks (Crons):
  • Healthcare: Generate daily MoH HMIS aggregate tally (smarterp_healthcare.ir_cron_hmis_sync): Runs daily at 23:00 to prepare DHIS2 health data summaries
  • Pharmacy: Flag expiring EFDA medicine batches (smarterp_healthcare.ir_cron_fefo_expiry): Runs daily at 06:00 to alert dispensers of lots expiring within 60 days
• Custom Print Templates & Reports:
  • Official Patient Encounter Summary & Medical Certificate
  • Electronic Prescription Order Form (Model 19 Compliant)
  • Ethiopian Health Insurance Service (EHIS) Claim Dossier
  • Daily MoH Outpatient / Inpatient Morbidity Tally Sheet
• Multi-Company Rules: Record-level security isolation under Company 1 (Ashewa Technology Solutions S.C.), preventing cross-company ledger leakage across parent and subsidiary legal entities.
