GNUmed supports to enter and edit a patient's occupation and, when raising the 
Edit window, the user can observe when the most recent value had been entered.

In 1.3,

(1) can the Overview plugin display that date information?

(2) would people agree that when this information was last entered or edited 
years before, it raises the question as to whether the information remains 
accurate. I am wondering whether occupation (like Allergies) are something 
worth re-affirming with a patient.

I do realize that the same questions could be asked about contact information, 
however I think a patient is more likely to report a change in contact 
information (or the front desk is more likely to ask it as part of their 
routine) than the occupation is likely to be reported as changed.
