When presented with multiple lab results

No problem. Each physician can have their own review.
- I think we want all clinicians to be able to sign results (for
example
when covering in absence of a colleague)
No problem.
- therefore we may wish to be able to display the "not check mark"
whenever
a result is not yet signed by anyone
*or*
a test_result has fk_intended_reviewer = <current user> but is not
yet
signed by current user
Done.
- a function or button to filter & sign "my unsigned results" might
help
here...
In a later revision.
but if the ordering clinician had already signed it, might the
clinician who is looking after the patient, if different, wish to
make
their own newer entry to revise some values in technically abnormal
and
clinically relevant? Would we therefore keep (and not overwrite) the
signature of the ordering physician, because they have completed
their
requirement to sign the result.
We keep all signatures. Whoever wishes to sign can do so
regardless of who else signed already.
We would (?) take the view that if a
different clinician wished to revise whatever is the current value
This only makes sense for "whatever is *their own* current value".
for
technically_abnormal and clinically significant, they could do so,
and
that would be captured and reviewable in the audit table if there
were
later to be an issue?
Yes, if someone who signed a result later changes their
decision as to relevant and abnormal this will indeed
overwrite their review in the database. The change will be
captured in the audit system, yes, for tracking if need be.
... I am not sure how the above would interact with the patient vs
provider inbox, if there were results to be signed, which did get
signed
by a doctor in absence of the ordering doctor, who would later need
to
(re)-sign some of the same results,
Unless the covering doctor took over responsibility (made
herself fk_intended_reviewer) the results will still show up
as unsigned in the fk_intended_reviewers provider inbox.
When we start using patient inboxes it'll depend on what we
decide then regarding this issue.
