What are the arows and the "?" for ?

R.

We remember that "Health Issue" can be thought of as a "diagnosed problem" except that we also have the special grouping item "Unattributed episodes" to hold all the "problem episodes" whose cause we did not know. Example patient:

Unattributed episodes

back pain

sore throat

abdominal pain

headaches

Diabetes

loss of control <--- suppose 9  months ago

loss of control <--- suppose active

Hypertension

Post-appendix removal

So… when looking in the Notes plugin which has columns which I here --- in this email --- use the " ||" to mean "column separator" we see columns

Last ... || ... Problem ... ||  ... in Health issue

then when we look just at

Problem ... ||  ... in Health issue

back pain ................... ?

sore throat   ............... ?

abdominal pain ........ ?

headaches         ........ ?

the question mark "?" is a reminder

"we do not know the cause (or we did not

yet bother to move it under the likely cause)"

For Health Issues, the ↵ means that the thing that is under the "Problem" column *is* (already) the Health Issue for example

Diabetes  ........ ↵

Hypertension  ........ ↵

Post-appendix removal ........ ↵

and the other things are all episodes names which

- in the EMR tree next *under* their owning Health Issue

- in the Notes view, the Health Issue is named in the right column

loss of control ................... Diabetes
