I am having a bit of a hard time to see the flow with proposed states
Here is what I would suggest, based on reworking of the existing (see
screenshot) Allergy manager:
- reposition Allergy window titlebar lower on screen to prevent its
being party hidden by the XFCE panel at the top of the screen, I
suggest that for example if the plugin Patient details is open to the
Identity tab, the upper edge of the Allergy window be positioned just
under the "Comment" column heading
- the checkbox "definite" risks being un-noticed, can it be
interposed to the left of "Allergy", "Sensitivity"
- Allergy dialog needs widening and extending vertically lower by 1-2
cm to accommodate:
1) an "Exit" button.. presently it is only possible to leave by
pressing Cancel
2) visually separating individual-item detail from overall state
... presently the state is crowded among 3 buttons between Save Clear
Delete and Cancel and this competes with screen controls used to
manage individual allergies. This needs a better visual and
functional separation. Suggest instead:
1) exclude the State buttons from a rectangular work area which
should visually enclose all the other elements as more-clearly
managing items in the list, this rectangular work area should have
some visual element boundary like a dotted line... as mentioned, this
may need extending the window down to let State buttons be moved out
lower
2) exclude listing allergy state in the table because it confuses the
user who cannot manage such entries with the same tools / buttons as
they would manage discrete items... I would instead split allergy
state out of the table and present it as radio buttons
( ) None known ( ) Per above ( ) Unknown <---default on
patient creation
Entering allergies would programmatically change the radio button
state to ( ) Per above. Only in the absence of listed allergies
would the user would be able to change the state from "Unknown" to
"None". Of interest, the user should be allowed to input allergy
information which came from collateral but it is interesting to
contemplate that the patient had not been asked hence the tension
between "No info" and"Unknown" and "Unasked". Presently if I enter
"Penicillin" the constraints refuse to let me also set state to
"unknown".
Would you still want to capture "Unanswered" to flag patients for
whom the issue especially deserves future discussion? If so this
could be between ( ) Per above and ( ) Unknown
3) make an "Exit" or "OK" button a default at bottom.
Caveat field:
- while allergy state is unknown (or undisclosed) can the Caveat box
hold a red "?" (refer to discussion ~ Sept 20th)
also Greek phi for "none" and "!?" for ( ) Unanswered
