Database

Overview

File:OpenEmrOriginalSchema.pdf - Full Graphical Map of the current schema as of version 3.2.0 (note there have been many more table added since this, which are listed below).

File:OpenEMR 5 0 2SchemaBreakdown.pdf - Breaks the current schema down into various categories to quickly see the tables by functionality for the upcoming version 5.0.2. Note many tables are missing as this is a work in progress.

Engine

For OpenEMR 5.0.0, engine was converted to InnoDB, except for following exception:
  • form_eye_mag (in InnoDB, was throwing following error on some newer OS's 'Row size too large (> 8126).')
Above table was set to be skipped in the upgrade script auto InnoDB conversion here: https://github.com/openemr/openemr/blob/master/library/sql_upgrade_fx.php#L640
For OpenEMR 5.0.2, the form_eye_mag table was removed; thus database became 100% InnoDB.

Tables

OpenEMR installs many database tables. Following is a list, with brief descriptions:


  • addresses - Contains street addresses for two other tables: insurance_companies and pharmacies. So it is effectively an extension of those tables. This is inconsistent in that some other tables (e.g. facility, patient_data, users) have their addresses embedded. The "foreign_id" column equals the "id" of the foreign table, but curiously the addresses table does not identify the foreign table itself.
  • amc_misc_data - For tracking of some Automated Measure Calculations (AMC). (added in version 4.1.0)
  • amendments - (added in version 4.2.0)
  • amendments_history - (added in version 4.2.0)

  • ar_activity – This is the primary repository for Accounts Receivable information. In general it contains multiple rows per encounter (visit). Each row corresponds to either a payment or an adjustment. (added in version 2.8.2) and columns are:
    • pid, encounter: Identifies the visit.
    • sequence_no: A “line number” of the activity item for this visit.
    • code, modifier: Identifies a particular service item, if any, that this payment or adjustment is for; generally useful only for insurance.
    • payer_type: 0 = patient, 1 = primary insurance, 2 = secondary insurance, etc.
    • post_time: A timestamp for the event posting.
    • post_user: The ID of the user who posted the item.
    • session_id: The ID of the associated ar_session table row, if any; generally useful only for insurance.
    • memo: Used for the insurance adjustment reason, if applicable.
    • pay_amount: The amount paid, if this is a payment.
    • adj_amount: The amount of adjustment, if this is an adjustment.
  • ar_session – Also for Accounts Receivable, this table is applicable to insurance EOBs. Each row corresponds to a “posting session” in which a single payment covers a set of claims. (added in version 2.8.2) and columns are:
    • session_id: A unique numeric identifier for the session.
    • payer_id: The ID of the payer in the insurance_companies table.
    • user_id: The ID of the user who is posting the session.

Holds information about each patient insurance plan, including subscriber information. An important recent improvement to this is the maintenance of the "date" column which is the effective date of the plan; thus it is possible to store multiple plans of each type, with different effective dates. "provider" here is a reference to insurance_companies.id.

  • list_options – Defines most static lists. This table is maintained and customized via the Lists administrative interface. (added in version 2.9.0)
