Customization

Ottehr is designed to be customizable in different ways.

It is intended to work for many healthcare organizations with a little customization. This guide recommends how an organization can go from checking out Ottehr to deploying an application that can be used by users in production.

First get Ottehr set up and working locally. We recommend following the guide Introduction to Setting Up Ottehr.

Next, start to customize it. A good place to start is with the theming, so you can customize the design of the application for your organization. Check out the Customizing Ottehr Theming documentation.

Once you've made some changes, you can try to deploy Ottehr so it is accessible by others and not just on your computer. Check out the guide Deploying Ottehr.

The paperwork questions can also be customized -- check out Customizing paperwork for the documentation.

Customizing the code

Ottehr is open source, so you can make any additional customizations you want to. A common use case for customizations is integrations with other libraries. For example, if you use another system for scheduling providers, you can build your own integration even if it isn't yet built in to Ottehr.
