Re: [Gnumed-devel] gmClinNarrative: some questions

Ian,

Whatever you do DO NOT add AOE (assessment of encounter to the SOAP control).

The AOE is as the name suggests an assessment or summary of the entire 
encounter which will most often be made up of many soap notes.

The final SOAP control will be composite:

--------------------------------------------------------
the soap box
s
o
a
p
        btnok btn cancel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
listctrl (containing lines which summarise each soap entry
--- line 1 (eg urti soap elements)
--- line 2 (eg hypertensioin review soap elements)
----line 3 (eg sore knee soap elements)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
AOE textbox probably at bottom the progress notes screen which will contain a 
summary/doctors comments of the ENTIRE encounter
eg. Mild URI, BP reviewed, knee pain ?osteoathritis > Knee Xray, review 
results in 1 week.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
