Medical Note Date

Submitted by Guest on Wed, 19/10/2016 - 11:42

Hi,

We've just upgraded to the new beta version. When making a medical note the date field at the top seems to be grayed out now so you can't change it?

Sometimes we don't get to writing the note until the day after or late at night on after hours.

Is there a setting we can disable somewhere so we can go back to being able to put the medical note on the right date?

 

Thanks,

Shanon

The date is now read-only to support the new medical record locking facility.

If you really want to be able to change it, you can update the act.patientClinicalNote archetype so the startTime field is no longer read-only. However, if you back-date a record, and record locking is enabled, record locking may prevent you from subsequently editing it.

It may be of interest that I had a similar situation in Hong Kong (after installing 1.9Beta-1) - the complaint was:

"Loretta noticed one change in the new system that will cause some issues in the future.  When we prepare a patient document from the Patient - Medical Records - Documents tab, we no longer have the ability to change the date of the document.  (we used to be able to edit this field).

This implications with any document that we want to have a date set as anything other than today's date.

One I can think of off the top of my head is the hospital and surgery admission form. We usually print these out a day or two beforehand but set the date to the date that the patient is coming to the clinic.  Is there any way we can change the date field so we can edit it?"

My fix was to change readOnly="true" to readOnly="false"  in the definitions of the startTime node in both the act.patientDocumentForm and act.patientDocumentLetter archetypes.

Note that a) we do not use record locking; b) I have had no complaint about not being able to adjust the Note date.
