Ward admission log forms
This is a temporary page to get feedback on a development question. Once all is answered I'll summarize it into the change log or requested changes and delete this page.
Now that most places are using laptops I have had some feedback regarding the patient list screen. It sounds like some of you would be able to do away with your log sheets if that screen had slightly different information than it does now.
I propose to change the patient list on the laptop in the following way:
- reduce font size to that used in other forms to accommodate more columns
- eliminate DOB and PHIN, not as important as other info
- add a new column for room number (would allow Grace and possibly Vic to eliminate bed maps)
- add admit date/time and discharge date/time
- what would be the consensus: would you like the first ~ 10 letters of the notes field?
- detailed admit-from so collector knows whom to contact (as opposed to our limited one)
- would it be reasonable to change the admit-from dropdown to include every unique ward and then stream the output back to generic "W" for Ed's DB to handle?
Would that work for you at your location? Do you have additional changes you'd like to see to the list?
