Love the overview plugin. The attached screenshot is of a window that has been sized as small as possible. Any further downsizing is at the expense of the third column and third rows of panels. Upsizing will permit these to grow to widths
and heights similar to columns / rows 1 and 2. Beyond that, all will expand to show more content.
Double-clicking on most panels will evoke the relevant plugin (demographics, EMR tree, Medication, Documents, Measurements) or -- because there is no plugin for it -- the Add / Edit Encounters management dialog. The only panel that does not so far evoke a target
is the upper right "Reminders" panel. Probably that will remain the case, because the sources may come from more than one place in GNUmed.
A few observations:
1) within any panel, each line item is individually selectable but the items are not granular... double-clicking any item leads to the same plugin being pulled into focus.
- can granularity permit the double-clicked item to be preselected in the target plugin?
- if no, then if all within-panel clicks would be treated as "en block" (clicks of total contents) this would make clearer to the user that they will not have the benefit of granularity (but would this then lose the individual tooltips that are currently supported)?
- is it worth for the labels above the panels to be made active, to likewise open the relevant plugins?
2) The panels "Active problems" and "History" are separated by the panel "Current meds" however both of them (Active problems, History) lead to the same EMR tree. This suggests to me an argument to place them together. I would suggest
Current medications
Active problems
History
This makes it possible, when reviewing current medications, to visualize whether the reasons for those medications are apparent among the Active problems and where it is not the case, the History can be scrolled to see if it contains items that need to be made
active. Either way, it would be the same EMR tree that needs to be accessed to make any changes.
