[Gnumed-devel] 0.3.2 feedback: EMR tree also Past History item behaviours

[James Busser]

Past History items are handled (or at least shown) non-uniformly  
depending on any text entry into the "Progress note" field inside the  
EMR > History taking... widget.

In the earlier screenshot, items
        pseudo item xage 9 w note
        s/p carcinoid polyp removal
were both done with some text entry whereas
        pseudo item to be at age 10
        s/p cholecystectomy, appendiectomy
were not.

4) all 4 items	are past history items, yet 2 items are accorded 3  
lines in the tree, and two only a single line not showing they are  
past history items. In point of fact, all health issues becomes part  
of the past history immediately with the passing of any time, it is  
just that a subset continue active into the present. So there is  
something very artificial about this presentation.

I understand it may simply be the default result of how the tree  
programmatically builds from the encounter / episode / clin narrative  
rows.

But if the clin.clin_narrative entry which was created with the past  
history item does in fact lack a proper episode anyway, can the text  
be expressed other than it is now?

Instead of devoting an "Episode" to it, can such Past History items  
instead be displayed without an episode until something more than the  
original entry has happened?

Could whatever was entered at item creation be instead displayed in  
the right-side area approximately

        Foundational Health Issue
          Noted...
          Status:
-->  <here as> Comment: or as Creation note: or Inception note:
instead of as right-sided text under a "closed" episode "past history  
item"?
