There are two main ways by which to enter an address (if we ignore
importing)...
- via Patient > Edit demographics (Patient details plugin) > Contacts
pane > Add button (in upper screen half)
- via new patient creation
For patient Sulu, I created a possible address inside the Edit
demographics widget (except that 3368 does not not actually exist on
that street). However all of the other information in the address is
plausible. Some questions:
1. in the widget appears the field label "Directions" which in
English is confused with magnetic compass directions (North, South,
East, West). Can a less misleading word be chosen, maybe "Other info"
or "More info" or "Optional"? The window may need widening or the
fields may need narrowing but I was thinking we may need that anyway
since "Postal code" is more universal than the american "Zip code"
and with more room we could change "State" to "State / Province" and
"Town" to "City / Town".
2. after I enter the city Vancouver and press Tab, I cannot see where
the focus has gone. If I input characters from the keyboard, I see
nothing. If I press Tab a *second* time, I then see focus inside
"Suburb:". Where did the focus go?
3. on a different effort, after I entered the town "Vancouver" and
pressed cursor-down, the phrasewheel offered me "VANCOUVER PENINSULA"
which is incorrect, and although I edited and deleted from within the
field the string "PENINSULA" when I then pressed the Tab key in order
to advance to Suburb, the value "VANCOUVER PENINSULA" was restored as
part of my leaving the "Town" field. Is that the obligate behaviour
of the phrasewheels? The only way I could keep the desired value of
Vancouver was to delete the undesired fragment and then mouse click
to set focus inside Suburb.
4. after creating the zip code (well, postal code) "v6s 1r9" in one
address, I tried creating a second address and would have thought
that after typing "v6" and re-using from the phrasewheel (though I
cannot see it :-)) the value "v6s 1r9" this does not helpfully pre-
populate any of the street, direction (West), state or country. In
Canada the zip (postal) code specifies, within any one street, and
within any one block, and within any side of the street (even or odd)
a range of building addresses. What part of this, which is maybe
inconsistent across countries, is usefully pre-programmable or
configurable?
5. my country Canada though I think it even existed among phrasewheel
values, is shown as Kanata. Where in GNUmed are the configurations
for such behaviours defined such that when setting up a local
database, the person installing would wish to do a clean-up of this
and other tables? It occurs to me that I with pointers I can start to
assemble a list of "testing to production clean-up procedures".
6. Can the required fields' labels be coloured red?
7. what are the thoughts about state or province abbreviations, here
in BC (British Columbia, Canada) we would only ever enter "BC" and
not the full name, our mail also uses only "BC".
8. in the new patient creation widget, it is only the Last name,
First name(s), Date of birth and Gender that are required. However if
a user wishes to enter any address information, they must enter all
information. Any idea how to communicate the linkage in this
information? It annoyed me to find that --- because I did not happen
to have, or to know, a zip code --- all of the other address
information that I had entered will get discarded. Also the widget
seems programmed to only alert the user to certain combinations of
information, because when I left "zip" empty and then deleted my
values for street and number and town and state, it looked like what
I left in for country was going to be accepted, but it wasn't.
9. Also in the new patient creation widget, can the window be
enlarged to permit the additional field of "Caveat" (or if you do not
want to enlarge the widget, put Caveat in place of Occupation). This
way a helpful information fragment
can be captured and will show up prominently when the new patient is
next made active, and it could then be moved by the office/praxis
staff into a better place if it could not, at the time of patient
creation.
