[Gnumed-devel] EMR tree tweaking and refactoring

[Busser, Jim]

1. Left pane

As procedures (and other categories of information) are missing from the 
left-side of the tree, this "handle" does *not* in fact hold the "entire" EMR 
but rather only the health issues. Is it therefore reasonable to relabel the 
left-sided "handle" from

        EMR of … Surname, First names

to

        Health issues of … Surname, First names

so... can it be renamed?
 

2. Right pane

(a) Presently, a section of meta-data is positioned below the right-sided list 
of problems, but above other lists. Might it make more sense to reposition such 
meta-data

        47 encounters from 17/09/2000 to 09/05/2012
        9 active medications
        15 documents
        6 test results
        1 hospital stays
        1 performed procedures

to the top of the pane?

(b) Which if any procedures might be worth to list in a section of the right 
pane? Perhaps

        'n' recent or ongoing procedures
        - here list all ongoing procedures, if they exist
        - also list any procedures having date > = today
        - otherwise, list only the most recent procedure
        - if no procedures, omit this section

(c) Medications

        Would it be excessive to output the medications into this pane? Such a 
list is pretty central to the sharing of care, and part of what the right pane 
enables is to copy / paste this data free-text into a free-form document.
