Hi guys,

I've been a bit quiet lately. My apologies.

It occurs to me we could summarise the above requests into the following list with some additions of my own.

Points for further clarification in italics

1. The Customer workspace

1.1 A new tab that contains a list of appointments for any patients with a current patient-customer relationship.

- Current data required: Date, Time, Patient and Reason

1.2 Filtering

- This tab would contain a list that could be filtered by status (pending/in progress/complete). Default would be Pending (this would pick up future appts)

- Alternatively (or inclusively) we could filter by date. (Future/Past). Indicate which you guys would prefer; status filtering or date filtering or both.

1.3 Jump to schedule linking

- Have the appointment listed in 1.1 linked so that the user can click on it, and it will jump to that schedule and that date.

1.4 Edit appointment capacity

- Allow the appointment date/time to be edited via the standard edit appointment dialog via clicking on it or adjacent button without having to enter the schedule/w.

2. Notification within the customer summary or somewhere within the customer workspace that a future appointment exists for a patient linked to this customer.

Note: This might have performance implications. Asking the system to search for all appointments for all patients linked to a customer could be quite intensive.

Can you guys describe a circumstance in which you might need this notification if the tab described existed.

Q. Do you want an equivalent tab in the patient workspace limited to the patient in question or is this unnecceasry duplication?

Thanks,

Matt C

Hi Sandra,

Yeah alongside Patints, Contacts etc is exactly where I thought it could go.

As most times when making an appointment/revisit the receiptionist/nurse is in customer anyway I thought having the future appointments in there would be enuf too.

This topic will be moving to the new Active Development area soon and a deadline for submissions will be set.

Cheers,

Hi All,

I thought I'd piggyback on Matt's post on the issue of funding these
projects to remind you that Bayer have kindly offered to allow clinics
to use their points to fund Jira projects. We have also just had
confirmation that Fort Dodge are happy for their Win dollars to be used
for annual subscriptions as well as Jira project funding. OpenVPMS
items will be appearing in their online catalogue soon. Coupled with
the ongoing support from our founding sponsors Novartis, Lyppard and
Gribbles these companies are illustrating just how supportive our
industry partners are of the OpenVPMS project.

So, if you have a few spare points why not allocate them towards making
your software work better for you as well as your colleagues?

Regards

Peter
