== Usage of the notes field ==

The notes field was set up to be a free-for-all where collectors can store any info they want. This resulted in non-standardized collection practices which result in problems during vacation coverage or on shared wards.

*we do not ~~want collector to~~ write copious history notes from charts into this note section. ~~Not necessary and not required~~.

*Please do not write copious history notes from charts into this note section. This is only for reminders or points needed to do you work, dates where you left off at or any follow up of info, test etc that need to be done by yourself or for others who help collect on your laptop.

** tasks for renal transplant patients that do not follow the norm
