Configurable Care

As an implementer it is easier to build and deploy configurable care delivery applications for different health programs that can leverage evidence based guidelines (e.g. SMART Guidelines). The Configurable Care application is a reference application that enables dynamic deployment of FHIR content to drive care delivery i.e. workflows. It uses the Android FHIR SDK (Engine, DataCapture and Workflow libraries) to execute workflow logic and provide basic support for managing CarePlan and Task resources.

This application loads the WHO SMART Guidelines for Immunization (Measles) and allows the user to run through several different outcomes as described below.

Running the Application

1. Download the code

To download the code, clone the FHIR App Examples repo:
git clone https://github.com/google/fhir-app-examples.git

2. Import the configurablecare app into Android Studio

Open Android Studio, select Open... and choose the configurablecare folder from the source code that you downloaded earlier.

3. Run the configurablecare app

Now that you have imported the project into Android Studio and set up the FHIR server with test data, you are ready to run the configurablecare app for the first time.

Start the Android Studio emulator, and click Run in the Android Studio toolbar.

Possible Outcomes for the WHO SMART Immunization Guidelines

Outcome 1 - Successful administration of the Measles vaccine

  1. Launch the configurablecare app in Android Studio with a connected Android device
  2. Open logcat tab in Android Studio and wait until you see this message: com.google.android.fhir.configurablecare I init. (You may use system.out as a filter to observe the logs better.)
  3. Click on "Register new patient" and complete the questionnaire to create new patient (infant) with basic information. [Suggested DOB: 02-02-2023]
  4. Navigate to "Patient list" and choose your newly created patient
  5. Click on "Careplan Activities" to see the list of pending and completed activities.
  6. Begin the Immunization Review activity. You do not need to fill this form. Click on Submit on the top right.
  7. Wait for "Updating Activities" to change to "Activities Updated". Click on the "Completed Activities" tab to see the recently completed task.
  8. A new Measles Vaccine Medication Request activity proposal should appear in the "Pending Activities" tab. Click on this Activity to continue.
  9. A questionnaire will open up that asks you whether you want to accept this proposal. Click on "Yes" and submit.
  10. Notice that the Medication Request activity has now changed from "proposal" to "plan".
  11. Click on the above activity. You will see a questionnaire with options for contraindications. Do NOT select anything and submit the empty questionnaire.
  12. Notice that the Medication Request activity has now changed from "plan" to "order".
  13. Click on the above activity. This will be the questionnaire for administering the measles vaccine.
  14. Provide "yes" for "consent given" and "stock available" questions and answer the rest of the questions any way you like. Click on submit when you are done.
  15. Now you will notice that all pending activities have been completed. Observe the completed activities as well and take note of the transition from proposal -> plan -> order -> completed
  16. Go back to the Patient card and notice that the "Immunization Records" section now has a new item added with the details of this vaccine.

Outcome 3 - Vaccine administration is temporarily on hold (soft contraindication) until a clinical review has been completed [out-of-scope]
