[Gnumed-devel] Medications, and Adding substance intake - dialog

[Jim Busser]

1. When an EMR episode is renamed, is it resource-intensive to refresh the 
episode names displayed with current medications? Switching plugins within the 
same patient does not achieve it. Departing the patient and coming back to the 
patient does.

2. Can we improve the Adding substance intake dialog

2.1 Amend the screen title to

        "Adding medication and non-medication substances"

2.2. Steal vertical space from below the allergy status (or vertically reduce 
the "active ingredients" display area) to be able to insert the text:

        Lookup by

        brand component

        … or …

        component

otherwise the user is confused to think the above are direct data entry fields 
when they are instead "lookup" fields which can result in more substances being 
added than are selected.


2.3 Suggest the Tooltips be improved from:

-       A component of a drug brand the patient is taking.
+       Lookup, and select, a single (or multi) component drug brand, by active 
ingredient name. All components will be displayed and added to the patient's 
list.

-       The substance with optional strength
+       The non-branded medication (or non-medication substance) component, 
with optional strength

-       The preparation the substance comes in.
+       The preparation or form of the substance.
