Sex (neutering status) of patient on medical records screen
Sex (neutering status) of patient on medical records screen would help greatly, eg Bailey Female Golden retriever would be displayed as Bailey Female (N) Golden retriever. Some diseases will only occur in undesexed animals, eg pyometra (uterine infection). It would assist the vet by saving a few extra keystrokes to determine desexing/neuter status. This might otherwise disrupt the consult slightly, and should be fairly easy to include in the program.
RE: Sex (neutering status) of patient on medicalrecords screen
Hi Jim,
Yes, an easy thing to add. Think we will add it next the Patients name in the Patient summary panel so always visible i.e
Bailey (Desexed)
What do you think ?
CheersTony
Re: Sex (neutering status) of patient on medicalrecords screen
I think it would be good to see both the sex and the desexed status. (i.e. Bailey (Male Desexed))... It is not always clear from the patient's name whether they are male or female and it would be great to be able to see this information in the summary panel so that staff can get their "him's and her's" right when speaking to clients. :)
Cheers :)

Sex of the patient on the Patient Summary Screen
Hi Tony, Gerrie and others,
I agree that adding the sex of the patient to the patient summary screen would be useful. As names can be generic you can be caught out calling patients into the consulting room by the wrong "he" or "she" description.
I note in version 1.3 Beta that there is no indication of sex unless you go to the information page of the patient record.
Thanks,
Sam

Sex and the user summary
Hi everyone,
What we might be seeing here is a wish to have the summary view configurable for each site.
Ie. Choosing from a list of options.
From our perspective, this discussion has been entered into in relationship to the contents of the appointment boxes. In our clinic, notes are important in controlling certain procedures and trasnmitting information from reception-theatre-discharge. For us, the ability to scan a list quickly and see salient detail quickly without hovering over tooltiup icons is important, but...
such an approach results in a cluttered interface for people not wanting that detail.
Another detail, moving the customer/patient links from scheduler to summary box has added another click in that process, a minor negative for us. With so many horses for courses the ideal solution is to have it customisable.
To have a user interface created that allows such configuration of the summary boxes, the scheduler or even the title displayed in the tabs of the browser would be great. How many poeple would see it as worthy enough to contribute funds to start a sub project?
Matt
RE: Sex and the user summary
For the summary screen the issue is going to be screen space and if customisable how do you cater for the miriad of options that may contain large components of text etc. The idea behind the left panel was really to get a snapshot of important information and further information to be one or a maximum of two clicks away. If we decide to add information to the summaries I think we may still need to maintain the fundamental purpose of a customer /patient summary and add addittional buttons or links to allow users to get further information.
I think the contents of the appointment and task boxes in the views may also be difficult to agree apon and also cater for the sizes involved. In the case of the appointment notes I do not believe intelligent truncation is really possible or desirable. Maybe if you can give some examples of how you use the notes as a internal communication tool we may be able to work out something that may meet your (and others) needs but doesn't unnecessarily clutter the view display ?
Cheers Tony

User summaries and appointment boxes
Hey Tony,
Thanks for your response.
With regards the summary box, I guess I was wondering if what will be right for some will be lost or a nuisance to others. Rather then being littered with requests for more/less info a configurable solution seemed an ideal goal. Perhaps the user variation with repect to the summary box does not warrant it. I have often thought the alerts section could do with more icons for different types of alerts but I could see that also being a fairly user specific feature.
With respect to the information in the appointment boxes, we store the following information in abbreviated forms;
Appointment schedule:
[intials of appointment maker] / [intials of desired vet] - arbitary note
eg. mc / th pts
Its true we could just allocate to a particular clincian in the clinciian field but the above is quite a lot quicker.
Surgery schedule:
[intials of appointment maker]/ [quote][procedure][earliest time of collection][ready to go home]
eg. mc / q120 $+0 ETC 2pm RTGH
- The theatre nurse will scan the appointment list, see what procedures are in and stagger procedures so that discharges dont all come at one time.
- The vet bills and marks as billed/completed. The receptionist now knows they can process the account when the customer arrives. If In progress they now that further billings are required, poften after consultation with the owner.
- The RTGH code means that the animal has recovered adequately to go home. This saves staff wandering out the back to see or wasting time paging ward staff. It is independent of the "Billed" status for the previous reason.
Hospital worklist:
[intials of appointment maker]/ [quote][illness][discharge time][ready to go home]
eg. mc / q1000 pyo dc2pm RTGH
- A new hospital vet or ancilliary ward vet can see whats in just by scanning list.
- Quotes are "out there" and can be revised by comparing against summary view.
- Just like with surgery, receiptionists can see if an account is ready to be paid, whether the hospital staff have prepared the animal for dc or not (RTGH).
As you can see, using notes we have really enjoyed a significant improvement in communication since OpenVPMS but I accept that most of these process apply in large hospitals.
Sex/Desexing status
I agree, more summary panel information will save keystrokes especially re sex/desexing. (While were at it how about blue hyperlinks for males and pink for females?)
Also Owner contact numbers in the summary panel would save flicking out of patient history when contacting an owner
Nick
RE: Sex/Desexing status
I agree with contact numbers but this is a classic case where you may want too options. The preferred telephone contact displayed and a button which gives you a dialogue with all the other contact information (mobiles etc)
Cheers Tony

Neutering status
Hi Tony
Any update on this? Patient sex and neuter status is as essential as breed or body weight and we would like it in the summary panel. The summary panel is one of the best features of the system and with this change it will be even better. With regard to contact phone numbers , I don't think this should go in the summary panel. Most people have more than 1 number, some have 4 or more. Some sort of quick access tab or right click pop up field, would be very useful I think.
Re: Neutering status
Yes, added to summary panel in version 1.3 as well as first phone number for customer as a start. Other options for quick contact access need to be discussed and then put into JIRA for possible inclusion in 1.4
Cheers Tony

Phone number in 1.3 in summary view
Hey everyone,
We love this change. We do have to check contacts from time to time and often the contact number for a day (say for a surgery drop off) is not necceasrily even a number stored for a client (we store as a note in medical records usually) but none the less, this can be very handy and in my humble opinion, doesn't clutter the summary box too much.
