=== Tasks === | === Tasks === | ||
For a long time now there have been requests to make the Tasks more of a drop-down, similar to the ADLs, or a checklist like the greensheets used to be. This is a mess to implement, since it doesn't correspond to the data structure this is stored in. | |||
An alternative might be to automatically enter the five tasks as "blanks" for every new medicine patient. I would make 5 new tasks etries that would sort before each of the 5 existing options. This would be similar to a checklist in that the records are already there, and only would need to be edited. | |||
{{discussion}} | |||
I can not think of any data or process drawbacks of doing this... can anyone else? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:09, 20 October 2010 (CDT) | |||

=== Patient Listing Report === | |||
Make a report that prints patients who meet a specific criteria, e.g. Record field = "MR" | |||
{{discussion}} Printing to order Medical Records is one thing this would be useful for, but there might be purposes for which collectors currently manually transcribe lists of patients onto paper. If so I might as well make the report in a way that is multi-functional. | |||

This report request was brought on by the following: "Could chart numbers be on patient list? Makes it easier to order charts…" If we generate a complete report for this, is there still a point in having the chart number on the patient list?

When we had the PDAs, we needed to check the complete patients only at sending time since the PDAs could not do it as you go along. Now that we are collecting in Access all along, we no longer need to wait and batch this check for send day. Is there any reason to not set a patient to "final checked" when you are finished collecting them? When final-check is clicked a bunch of tests run, so doing this when you still have the chart in front of you would save a trip back later. | |||
Checking patient over at send time seems like an extra step that doesn't add any value any longer. Should we continue to do this? Trish, this probably requires input from you. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:09, 20 October 2010 (CDT) | |||
=== Changing the local data structure automatically === | |||
Need a wayto make changes to data that is stored in \ccmdb_data\ccmdb.mdb, such as adding room numbers. By Access design, \ccmdb_program\ccmdb.mdb can not touch a linked table's structure. Will need to copy down new data structure and transfer existing data into that. This gives the opportunity to rename the data version into something less ambiguous. | |||
If it is renamed, I'll also need to change news and backup file. | |||
== | === Defaulting fields === | ||
*there is an | There frequently are requests to default some fields, primarily | ||
* location to the main location a collector collects at | |||
* medicine patient type to "medicine" | |||
I can set this up, but defaulting these would increase the chances of the data just being left in there if a patient is an exception. | |||
If this is not done reasons should be documented below under [[#Previous requests that were not addressed (with reasons)]]. | |||
{{Discussion}} | |||
Trish, Julie: Would it be OK to increase collection convenience by defaulting these fields, or would there be too much risk to compromise data integrity? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:09, 20 October 2010 (CDT) | |||

=== Facilitating diagnosis entries === | |||
I have had various requests to make it faster or easier to enter diagnoses. A lot of those requests would be addressed with more training on the various ways diagnoses can be entered. I have added a fair bit of functionality, but there may not have been enough training on this yet. '''Trish, before I add much functionality here, could you put me on the next meeting agenda for 15 minutes to show/tell/discuss diagnoses entries. ''' | |||
{{Discussion}} | |||
I discussed with Fran and Con that, if there were groups of diagnoses that often go together, it might be possible to combine them somehow. I could add a limited number of buttons to e.g. put in "cardiovascular- Hypertension, MI, hypercholesterol, etc." as requested by Con. Could collectors provide a list of dx groups for which this would be useful? | |||
