[Gnumed-devel] Re: Kirk's EMR tree episode "postop infected laceration..."

[Jim Busser]

EMR tree statistics: count of problems:

Each active problem is counted but, when it has an active episode,  
the episode is also counted. Accordingly if a patient has 4  
foundational issues and, of these, two have an active episode, the  
patient is counted as having 6 problems. IMO if the patient has  
lupus, and they have presently lupus nephritis, I think it is  
acceptable to be counting this as one problem because in managing the  
nephritis you are managing the lupus and, if the lupus has other  
components needing active management (lupus cerebritis, lupus  
autoimmune thrombocytopenia) our deliberate design limit of one  
active episode per foundational health issue would require episodes  
of these other problems to be created and managed under Unattributed  
episodes and only moved under Lupus when they were being closed.

this is not really a bug, more a definition, but shall I file it at  
launchpad under "Low" or "Wishlist" (or is there reluctance to change  
it)?
