[Gnumed-devel] 0.3.2 feedback: EMR tree

[James Busser]

7) expression of Foundational Health Issue information in the right  
panel of the tree

I know the english word "foundational" translated well on the devel  
list but in native use it is long and rather awkward. Considering the  
simplicity and wisdom ;-) that these issues live in a schema table  
called "Health issues" I recommend the client should display them  
named as "Health issues". I suspect the earlier form "foundational"  
was important as we evolved our way through how undifferentiated  
symptoms would be captured/reflected by episodes which could get an  
eventual explanation or attribution (foundational issue) or may not.  
But now that we can see it in the client I think it is OK and  
certainly clearer to the user to call the top-level tree items  
"Health issues".

As to the expression (in the right side of the tree) of relative  
dates. I would suggest that only two levels among (years, months,  
days) are displayed. So if it is at age greater than 1 display only  
years and months, and only if age is  <1 display "Noted at  
age..." {months & days) and likewise for how long ago was the event  
which gets displayed in ()

I think we had agreement on this but maybe just not yet implemented.
