Hello from India

Hello,

I am a manager with a group of hospitals from Bangalore, India. We
recently
setup Care2x in our hospital on a demo machine to work out the
feasibility.
This a great effort by the Care2x developers, we hope to make some
contributions in the future.

The following are a few preliminary observations that I made:

1. The blood group in the patient registration screen does not include
the
Rh factor.

2. The calendar in the registration screen is too difficult to use,
especially when you need to select a year in the early 20th century.

3. Out-patients need to be admitted in order to request a lab or
radiology
investigation. This causes a conflict with the systems employed in a
majority of hospitals in India, where a patient may just walk in
(without
being referred by a doctor) just to have his blood sugar checked.

4. The lab report does not have a printable format.

5. It would be nice to have a drop box for title in the patient
registration
screen.

6. A selection screen similar to that of City/Insurance would be
desirable
for doctors where necessary.

7. The appointments module does not appear to check for overlapping
appointments. It does not display appointments in chronological order.

We found that Care2X is greatly usable as it is except for point 3
mentioned
above.

Regards,

Vikram.

This has been noted.

This has been noted too. A different calendar script is needed. You
might try
to look the proper one by yourself. Calendar javascripts abound in the
internet for free, you will surely find the right one soon.

 A different workflow and GUI is needed for this.

All the rest have been noted too.  It is now included in the todo list
for
future releases.  Of course, if you can develop it now, it would be
much
better.

Thanks a lot,
Elpidio
