Alert notification when bringing up client or patient file

1. If a client/patient has an alert on their file would it be possible to have that pop up when you enter the file. eg: bad debtor alert pop up as you select that clients file OR patient alert eg: allergy alert pop up when you select the patient file as was available in RxWorks. This ensures you do not miss any valuable info, eg: Don't give these people credit - bad debtors!!!!

Also what would people think about overdue or due reminders popping up when you entered a patient file?

New Product Type

Hi All

I have just run the product price list report. Its a great new addition to the reporting facility. The report has 3 options with check boxes that correspond to the 3 basic product types. What I was wondering was, if it is possible to create additional product types. Can this be done within our system or is it a programming issue. In particular I would like a place to put consumables, ie those products we use to perform services but that we don't sell directly to the public (catheters or x-ray film for example).

Document attached to Patient summary or Patient documents

I have a document that is attached to a fee as I want it to be printed when that fee is billed. However, I do not need this document attached to the patient history, in fact we do not want it there. How do I still get the document printed when the fee is billed but not have it attached to the patient history?

How to display a screen 'capture photo' of issues in openvpms

I think this program has been mentioned before on the openvpms website but I'll make a plug for it again .... If you would like to show a snapshot of what you are seeing on your screen, you can quickly capture a 'photo' with a free program called Jing (http://www.jingproject.com/). With this program you can add comments in balloon boxes, highlighting and arrows etc. It is then possible to quickly paste your photo comment in a suitable email program (eg thunderbird) or have a link pasted in a forum post. In fact here is a link: http://screencast.com/t/4R8SiiImhW

Some novel experiences of our clinic with Open VPMS: User driven development

Hi everyone,

This week we had the pleasure of using a brand new feature of OpenVPMS. That in itself is not ground-breaking but the way in which this feature came to be was.

Some of you may have read these posts in our forum;
http://www.openvpms.org/forum/sex-neutering-status-patient-medical-recor...
They detail that in our clinic we use notes, visible in the scheduler a lot. The solution of using a pop up bubble just wasn't suitable for our work flows.

We approached OpenVPMS with a request for a specific solution;

Creating/setting up another/new location

I've been trying to figure out how to setup another practice location. I imagine that you have to create new duplicates of the main clinic. However, when I try to create new a practice, it says only one practice can be active. Does anyone have a set of happy path instructions on creating/setting up a new location?

Security Levels & "Check" tab on client account page

Is it possible for all staff to have access to the 'CHECK' tab at the bottom of the account page. At present only administration staff have this and it would be great for reception staff to be able to CHECK account balances that do not seem to make sense. I'm not sure what security level other users would have to be changed to, to be able to access this and what other area's of the system this would affect other.

Auto Capitals as default

We are finding lots of new files that have been made up with surnames not beginning with capitals, street addresses not beginning in capitals, patient names not beginning in capitals,etc. Could this be something that automatically happens when entering new clients in openvpms?

Transferring account balances

Is there a way I can transfer one or multiple invoices from one client to another, without crediting or reversing and then re-entering the invoices onto the other client?

Migrate to maven 2 and M2Eclipse (Eclipse with Maven integrated)

So folks... inorder to get my Eclipse IDE up the way I want it I tried to migrate the project from Maven 1 to Maven 2.   I think I'm almost there but there are some issues with the repositories that I can't fix.
