Return of FormRecallListEdit screen?

Post by mowgli » Fri Jan 09, 2009 10:37 am

I noticed that in subversion commit r2301 for versions 6.2+, FormApptsOther.cs, accessed when "Make/Find Appt" is clicked, was altered at line 533 to bring up the patient's recalls screen FormRecallsPat directly, rather than going to FormRecallListEdit.cs first when a family member is double-clicked under "Recall for Family." Probably because the "Edit Recall" button, Note field, and Recall Status dropdown list at upper left in FormRecallListEdit had been broken when multiple recalls were introduced in v6.0. However, I know that schedulers at some practices really like using that screen, because it has all kinds of useful information handy for reference while scheduling, including phone numbers, account info, recent work, etc. Is there a chance of getting this feature back in some form? Easiest way, the event for the "edit recall" button in FormRecallListEdit.cs could be changed to open the patient's recall list. Then eliminate the broken note field and recall status dropdown in that screen, since they're accessible thru the button. But the best way to return the screen to service would be to show the patient's multiple recalls (similar to how it appears in Family module) in the top center "Patient Information" grid which currently displays other family members. Those family members were already visible and accessible in the previous screen! That would eliminate an extra screen, and a label change or two would perfect it.

Noticed this didn't get any comment, so it must not be much of a concern. The screen is still available OK from the recall list, so it can be used there, just not for other kinds of appts.

I'm not sure how to answer that. It's kind of low priority at the moment.
