Re: [Gnumed-devel] clinician input wanted: patient overview widget

[Jim Busser]

Liz is not the first to point out the all too common failures in hospital 
discharge communication.

To answer Rogerio's question,

- I agree with Karsten's plan re a plug-in
- differences:

1) a referral letter has a context that includes making a request
2) referral letter may choose, on a per-patient basis, to customize the content 
depending on what t he consultant would be interested to see (or what is 
personal awhen not relevant to a request)
3) overview would presumably behave consistently across patients, depending 
only on what is available in their record
4) overview (being electronic) may permit to "jump" into another section of 
GNUmed, which a printout report would obviously not
