[Gnumed-devel] Can we auto-prompt for encounter closure on evoking new person creation?

[Busser, Jim]

I am finding the following workflow difficult.

It risks me to make questionable decisions in accepting (or altering) encounter 
information.

When I finish entering a progress note, and click "save all", the option

        EMR > Encounter > Edit before patient change

does not become active (in the case of adding a new person) until after the 
widget has been completed at which point my having inputted their demographics, 
occupation and comments (such as who referred them, and for what reasons) bring 
the new person fully into my cognitive foreground.

So when I then press the "OK" button, GNUmed prompts me to update the encounter 
on what is now the "previous" patient.

Is it manageable and agreeable that when the user selects

        Person > Register person

or when a search results in "Cannot find any matching patients … " and the user 
clicks the "Create new" button, can the actions be altered so that the 
encounter update prompt is evoked *before* the new person creation widget opens?
