Except for a fundamental difference: While the patient
handover tool rightly focusses on smoothing shift changes
during intra-episodic care GNUmed's entire mission is to
foster longitudinal cross-episodic care.
Nevertheless, lessons can be learned, perhaps:

Advance directives would be encapsulated by reminders,
messages, and/or automatic dynamic hints. We are currently
lacking something like a per-patient scratchpad (as was
available in Richard's design). This is not hard to add -- if
people suggest places to put it I'd be glad to do so. This
would be an area to quickly jot down a note-to-self to "see"
later on (say, at the next visit).

This points to our lack of structured "social history"
handling: diet, housing, ... The only part therof which we
currently do support in a so-so way is employment.
Most of this _can_ be implemented with tags but I agree there
may be better ways (which I haven't thought of or else we'd
already support it).
Any suggestions ?
