Encounter display is now also more informative.

The above improvement pertained to the left half of the EMR tree, in which --- inside each health-issue's episodes --- "encounterlet" dates and types are displayed. By design, clicking on one will show only the notelet (the portion of the encounter) that relates to the problem of interest.

It is nevertheless useful to be able to see the fullness of what happened inside any one encounter. Most often, clinicians will want to review the most recent visit (including all of its parts) to remind themself of the most recent clinical thinking and to check against the plan if anything was not yet done.

This is presently crudely achieved in the EMR Journal, but it would be even nicer to be able to optionally filter out the Journal lines that pertain to things done by daemons such as the import of lab results.

It would be very helpful to visually scan the Assessment soap rows going back more than one visit to remind oneself of what might be evolving, across problems that might not yet have been obvious to be related. Likewise, if parts of Plans had not yet been done, this may be the case over more than just the most recent visit.

The ability to filter on the Journal output would therefore seem invaluable :-)

What about providing a strip of "filter buttons" inside the top of the journal output which could offer filter buttons like
        All (default)   Date/Type    RFE   S   O   A   P   AOE

Clicking anything other than "All" would generate filtered output and in the case of clicking Date / Type would generate a list of encounters (one per line) which would helpfully auto-scroll to the bottom i.e. most recent.

Clicking any other filter button would result in (likely) multiple lines per encounter... we would presumably still want the date and the encounter type (and creator/last editor) shown per notelet.

Adding, to the right, a phrasewheel-supported field could allow to input a specific encounter type (default blank) by which to further filter. This could help to more quickly drill down onto particular events that are suspected or supposed to have happened (say, an in- praxis visit, vs. a phone call, or one or more communications that are supposed to have been sent to a consultant)

What do people think?
