Data model for output of flows

[litlfred]

I am not sure if this is in scope of FLOIP or not, but we have some projects that we are interested in a normalized data structure for the data collected in a flow. Use cases include:

• mHero for one-time/routine surveys of health workers
• DHIS2 for aggregate data collection and reporting

For mHero we have already made use of FHIR Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse resources:

• http://build.fhir.org/questionnaire.html
• http://build.fhir.org/questionnaireresponse.html

For mHero we have already mapped flow output for RapidPro according to:
https://wiki.ohie.org/display/documents/mHero+Workflow
I know Bob from the DHIS2 side of things is also looking at these resources for the Aggregate Data eXchange (ADX) standard.

I am assuming that FLOIP is not specific to the health context and so you wouldn't want to use the FHIR resources. What we would need is the ability to extract from the FLOIP metadata enough information to generate the Questionnaire resources.

This is good to have on our radar. I believe this will be captured when we start talking about the flow results specification, which should have the necessary bits to do this kind of mapping. Will keep this open to remind us as we get there.
