[Gnumed-devel] Avoiding to auto-encounter staff records?

[Jim Busser]

GNUmed requires that all staff be first created as persons, and then

        Person > Enlist as user

however most staff, when they have a choice, prefer to get their care in some 
other praxis because it can be awkward (loss of privacy and its complicates the 
care vs work relationship) to get care within the praxis in which one works.

So provided no notes had yet been created, nor any allergy history or 
medication or substance usage or vaccinations or measurements entered, nor 
documents attached, GNUmed has no reason (other than the usually-correct 
expectation) to treat this person as a patient.

Persons who can be known to be staff, *and* who have a null for in-praxis 
primary, could be computed and treated as 'not patients'.

Is this a sufficient basis for a code adjustment to avoid auto-creating 
encounters on mere activation of a staff record? Would admins or staff doctors 
still want this encountered as some kind of (in)appropriateness of access 
capture?
