  • Report Entry
    • Need "Done" and "Cancel"/"Back" button on the Report Entry page ... User must confirm their entry
    • If user his "Done", the lab report is sent to the approver. At this point, only the approver can change the result.
    • MISTAKE: There's a different background behind the lab "add note" functinoality. Should be teh Report Entry Page
    • Note icon turns green once something is inputted
  • Batch Approval
    • Similar to lab manager approving. Also provides quality control, so you can look for consistently abnormal results (equipment problems)
    • Historical: has already approved/rejected, as well as results that haven't been dealt with
    • Time/date should be clarified as to what kind of time/date
    • Order of columns should be logical and should be consistent across all screens where it makes sense (e.g. Urgent is on Left-hand of this screen, but was on right-hand of previous screen)
    • For lab orders that involve more description, not a single-dropdown response, will all become structured responses.
    • Question: Are there times when you add a text description? Or should we enforce uniformity in responses
    • Question: How do you view the text notes when reviewing lab samples
    • Checkbox, Thumbs up/down, Accept -> all of these mean similar things to a user. how to clarify this interaction?
    • All of the extensive searching, sorting, labeling options at top of screen... do we need all of them?
  • Report Approval
    • single report could have many lab order #s; each lab order could have many specimen IDs
    • Can make changes to a previously entered result
    • Some results should be hidden because they're sensitive or shouldn't be shown in the report
    • When click "Hide" (the eye) --> means the result will not be printed (or "don't print")
    • USABILITY CONCERN: Will users quickly become familiar with the eye, or difficult to use?
    • -Should we use a symbol (the eye) or words ("dont print")
    • -Should we gray out just the symbol/words, or the entire row
    • Preliminary, Final, Revised are tags that appear on the printed report (Should also appear on digital reports)
    • -Q: Is there a need for "revised" being selected manually? Or should it be programmatically determined? (updates after a "final" version have been released automatically set the state to "revised")
  • Report Approval Advanced Search
  • Investigation Retest
    • Goes into same report that it came from
    • Unlikely that you need to retest only one of multiple specimens
  • Report Delivery
    • TODO: Needs Report ID
    • Within JSS, reports from queue are auto-delivered
    • TODO: Swap order of time (move to left) and delivery time (move to right)
    • TODO: Action button change from "save" to "deliver"
  • Report Delivery -> View More
    • Popup on top of Report Delivery Screen
    • Doesn't display entire report, just a few important details
    • Priting happens on this page, but can also happen from "Report Approval" page (different people do each of these functions)
    • TODO: Review who has access to each page / function (front desk does "report delivery", lab manager does "report approval", etc)
  • Report Delivery Advanced Search
  • Paper Entry Select Lab Order
  • Paper Entry Advanced Search
  • Paper Entry Result Entry
    • What to do if we get an order from an outside lab, and we dont have the test in our concept dictionary -> we cant enter it. But we do expect to have this info from partnered labs
    • Suppose a new disease was found ... how would lab people add a new disease? Maintainance of these tables is done through OpenMRS side, via work "Lab Administration Pages"
  • Identify Anonymous Specimen
    • Must enter all information for the patient at some point... but dont have to do it at first (might be too slow)
    • E.g. cholera outbreak ... one clerk logging specimens, another sorting through paperwork and putting in names
    • Also for confidential specimen?
  • NEXT STEPS
    • Continue to provide feedback in the Lab UI Google Doc
    • Make transition to developerment (Piyush to work on turning designs into ExtJS app)
    • Complete the "lab order workflows" powerpoint
    • Have "lab order workflows" reviewed by the lab workers and physicians
