It can easily happen that even while a patient came for one purpose, and did not complain about the other problems, there is a need (forgotten by the clinician) to inform the patient about new information, or to update the assessment of the other problems.

I was wondering whether it would help the performance and the relevance of the lab view if the Measurements plugin did not query for every measurement that was ever performed for the patient, or if it would instead query some combination of

- unsigned (no matter their age)

- all forward from <dateFrom> to <dateTo>

dateFrom could default to a configurable value (e.g. 3 months), or from being touched more recently that the last encounter that involved the patient (in praxis or phone but not chart review etc)

- optionally show only abnormals
