[Gnumed-devel] clinicians: coding use case survey - please respond !

[Karsten Hilbert]

Hi all,

with the groundwork for coding now in place please respond
to the following scenarios (don't worry about the medical
sanity):

        (remove either "yes" or "no", maybe add a comment)

#--------------------------------------------------------
Patient has episode "URTI" coded to an appropriate ICD code.
Doctor changes episode description to "hypertension".

I would expect the previously linked ICD codes of "URTI" to
not any longer be linked to this episode:

        yes
        no
        comment

I would expect any known ICD codes for "hypertension" to
automatically be linked to this episode:

        yes
        no
        comment

#--------------------------------------------------------
Patient A has health issue "COPD". Patient B also has
health issue "COPD".

I would expect to be able to link *different* ICD codes to
each health issue *despite* that the two issues have the
very same name:

        yes
        no
        comment

I discover in patient A that there is a wrong/missing code
for "COPD". I correct/add that code.

I would expect patient B to now *also* automatically have
the added/corrected code for "COPD":

        yes
        no
        comment

#--------------------------------------------------------
In a list of terms with their codes I add/modify/remove a code
to/from the term "Fracture of left tibia".

I would expect that now all patients with episode "Fracture
of left tibia" have the updated list of codes for that term:

        yes
        no
        comment

#--------------------------------------------------------
In a list of terms with their codes I modify the term
"Fracture of left tibia" to "Fracture of skull".

I would expect that now all patients with episode "Fracture
of skull" have the list of codes which was formerly linked
to "Fracture of left tibia":

        yes
        no
        comment

I would expect that all patient with episode "Fracture
of left tibia" now do not have any codes anymore linked
to that episode of theirs:

        yes
        no
        comment

Thanks for your time !

Karsten
