Hi Andrew Clinical importance is not really relevant when designing. The question is, can a generic module serve all use cases adequately?
If what you are seeking to "put immunization up in lights" within GNU Health then I would advise agfainst that. After the Wakefield paper, vaccination rates dropped 50%. Recently, in one African country, the mainstream press blamed the Ebola outbreak on WHO vaccinations. GNU Health is currently a pure form of beneficence. When the next "scare" comes along will patients become scared of GNU Health and its pushy immunization schedule? I am simply pointing out that this is the only area of GNU health that could rapidly become controversial. Therefore, why put it up in lights?
