[Gnumed-devel] EMR journal soap row type / representation "ADM" & other feedback

[Jim Busser]

I was looking at the rows in a journal and identified that the "Adm"  
is maybe not ideal. In English and with a major amount of hospital  
activity I am always thinking it means "Admit" and also the intended  
meaning "Administrative" is maybe not correct because these rows were  
in many cases user-entered by a clinician who was providing a  
clinical name for a foundational health issue or fpr a clinical episode.

Conveniently (at least, often), when an episode name had been  
provided (for a new episode), this record will be sequenced after the  
SOAP rows within this encounter, unless more get added before this  
encounter is closed.

Can we, in place of "ADM", show "=" in the S O A P column, as this  
still respects that the row was not a traditional soap row (but is  
rather a clinician-entered "meta" row) resulting from some clinical  
evaluation?

Likewise shown among EMR Journal rows as "ADM" are the Foundational  
Health Issues. These had also been user (clinician) entered (when  
they were not imported from a legacy EMR), and could also be argued  
to be derived if unverified entities. They could likewise be  
represented with  "=" in the S O A P column?

Can the other "administrative" rows such as may arise from encounters  
created by lab results importers (or from record activation when  
browsing a record) be de-emphasized in the layout by designating them  
in the S O A P column with an"ellipsis" (three dots) instead of "ADM"?

Can we remove the word "Foundational" from "Foundational Health  
Issue" in the EMR Journal and simplify its appearance to
        "Health Issue: <issue name>"

I noticed in the journal an appearance of "Happened... None" for a  
sOap row "Allergy state: unknown, unasked (date time) and even while  
I was not (as a user) prompted to intereact with the allergy state I  
am wondering why it got documented? I suppose the system may be  
documenting that I did not ask it however I do not like that it is  
implying I should have, without it having offered to help me do what  
it seems to have decided I ought to be doing :-)
