http://www.compkarori.com/emr/beta/synapse.exe beta-1 This is just a demo of a possible consult editor. A new button splits the screen into 4 for SOAP and back again into a single screen. The templates would emit their text into the appropriate screen areas ... This version is not for production use!!
I take it they would need some retooling. Note I added the SO A P letters for illustrative purposes only - not a suggestion. I think this SOAP idea could be a good idea. Would you put in a 5th "screen" as the Tagging Line ? (just a thought). The Toggling Back and forth really shows off the nimble Synapse GUI. Q: wouldn't the toggling cause problems ? ie. what if you did the Soap note in the 4 panel mode, switched to Full Screen, edited the Subjective part (added a paragraph) and then added a paragraph to the Objective ... and then switched back to SOAP mode, would Synapse know where to "put" the newly added paragraphs ? Or maybe once you move out of the 4 panel to the 1 panel ... you can't go back ?
beta-2 Fixed a bug in select a doc for internal correspondence See http://www.compkarori.com/emr/synapse.exe Yes, a fair bit of retooling to do .... which is why I throw it open for discussion first.
The full screen mode for an existing SOAP note would show the "S" part of the note. The plan is to keep the note as 4 parts until Synapse EMR is restarted .. and after that it will be only available as one component, not 4.
Certainly a handy thing to be able to see Text Results right within the Consult Note. Visit1 Visit2 Visit3 - are those for the last three visits ?
Beta-5 You can't keep anything in the "O" "A" "P" fields but anything in the "S" field is preserved .. so stay off this screen for the moment. There's a new button on the Inbox/Results screen .. which allows you to message staff regarding a result.
What about the Popup ? One of my pending suggestions was going to be successive hitting of the "Last Consult" button would continue to go back 1 consult. ie. hit it once, you see the last consult. hit it again and it takes you to the second last consult .... I like the Last 3 consults idea, sort of unique really
Oh yeah. I've wanted to mention this for a while. When are you going to fess up and realize that the entire EMR is in one tab !
Yeah .... I've noticed this ... basically rebuilding all the functionality again on one window [] The popup only gives the last visit .. need more, and this makes it easier I hope to cut'n'paste from the previous visit.
Beta-6 Now displays the last 3 "encounters" in the 3 tabs to the right of the consult editor Templates should now go into the SOAP windows if you have the "Soap mode" showing, otherwise they go into the "Full screen" window. Macros go into the "O" window at present ... will give you a choice where to put this in an update. Once a consult is saved .. the 4 components are lost.
beta-8 Now the SOAP sections are kept separated for the duration of Synapse EMR session. You should either use the full screen mode, or the SOAP mode, and not switch between the two.
If you start in SOAP mode, and then start typing in the Full Screen mode.. the text will be copied to the Subjective screen if you switch back to SOAP mode. Ie. the Full Screen is treated like a large Subjective screen. If you use a "O" template in the full screen mode, the output is sent to the active screen .. which is the full screen. When you save from the full screen mode, all the data from the OAP sections is also saved so no loss.
beta-9 Occupation is now no longer a required field The age display has been increased for centenarians Some templates were not emitting to the right field in the SOAP mode Fixed a bug with uploading templates with & characters in them If this is issue free - it will be posted as client 196 final.
