Hi Matt,
Currenbtly possible but when we complete all the business rule stuff no.
To each archetype when can apply a set of rules that get checked before save, after save, before delete etc. I will be adding some of these in this current release (note the "I" which means an implementor can add/modify these with minimal programming skills leaving the "real" developers to concentrate on "real" programming :) )
One business rule that maybe of interest is after save of an epiosde I will create an event with the same date, clinician and reason as the episode. This will save having to do the event add manually. Thoughts ?
Cheers
Tony
That sort of default creation sounds like a real time saver.
I was wondering if you could give me your impression of how the event and episodes types might translate into existing medical records such as what we are used to in Netvet?
Also reminders look good. I imagine there will be [i]business rules[/i] for the creation of these when a vaccination is charged.

Hi Matt,
Netvet only used dates to distinguish different Medcial Record entries so you can not readily discern groups of entries that belong to the same clinical event.
Some systems use visit but this tends to mean more the attendance of a patient at the clinic rather than a delineation of the overall treatment process.
Other systems divide visits into consults that represent specific units of work within the visit. I believe this is a misnomer but is closer to the model we are using.
On this basis I decided to use the terminology Episode to represent a complete episode of care and events to represent distinct treatment events performed during the episode.
You will notice that you can attach a clinicain to the episode and to the evnt. The Episode clinician is the primary responsible clinician for the whole episode . The event clinican is the author/performer of the specific event.
The problem tab allows you to work on problems that run across episodes and events. You can add specific medical record entries to problems. These will be automatically appended to the the curently selected episode/event.
Yes. This reminder generation business rule will be fired on save of the Invoice. You will notice that products now have attached reminders and documents to acheive this.
Cheers
Tony
