Re: [Gnumed-devel] Better-structured narrative output

[Busser, Jim]

The second paradigm or mode of information review is

(2) 'alternative' views (think EMR Journal, and views that include audited 
records)

- these need to serve two purposes:

        (a) to help the already-involved clinician to know which information 
has most recently been added or even changed
        
        (b) to assist a more-detailed or comprehensive audit interested to 
reconstruct and replay all of the row additions and changes (including 
deletions) and which include the rows which, having been altered, had in the 
meantime been copied into the audit tables


Here 2(a) is mostly achieved by the EMR Journal but it could be improved once 
we would determine what is most desirable. The rows should be presented in 
order of modified_when unless we are convinced why it should not always be so. 
If I would pay no heed to what is already in the Journal, I would think we 
should want three columns:

        Added / modified*
        By whom
        Information

Added / modified*
- modified_when (full datetimestamp)
- suppress duplicate listing (where consecutive) at the level of {date hour 
minute seconds}
- if row_number is >= 2, append asterisk * to datetime stamp

By whom
- usercode
- suppress duplicate listing where consecutive

Information
- perhaps, to the left of this, a column containing * where row version is >= 
1, to draw visual attention to changes
- the narrative can be something like what we now have
