Requirements: Physio Events

Background

For information on why this needs to be a feature, see the discussion in Issue 28

A New Role for Physical Therapists

Physical therapists need the following rights:

1. The ability to add/edit appointments
2. The ability to add/edit/delete physical therapy events
3. The ability to read-only patient records, including visits, procedures, and the related notes

Therefore, we need a new role defined in the system with rights that support that sphere of capabilities.

A New Model for Physical Therapy Events

The model is primarily a wrapper for the Notes feature, thus any work on this feature should occur after that PR has been merged to master. The event is marked by an attending physical therapist, a clinical note (Notes feature), a date, and the associated visit and patient.

Physical Therapy Events Screen

Physio events should be an additional list of activities under a Visit, similar to the workflow for Labs or Imaging. The Create New option (going to the Edit/Create screen) should be available there.

Auto-creation of a Visit for a Physical Therapy Event

Similar to creating a new lab request/result, Physical Therapists need the ability to select a Patient and then either attached the Physical Therapy event to an existing Visit or a new visit. See the application workflow for New Labs for examples.

Create / Update Physical Therapy Event

Add / update for associating (if appropriate) the Patient, Visit, note input, date, and physical therapist (type-ahead list). Saving the data will create a Patient Note object in the background.

New Appointment Type

Similar to labs or imaging, appointments must be capable of being set for a Physical Therapy event.

Report: Physical Therapy Activity

A list physical therapy events, bounded by start and end date, as well as physical therapist. A summary of events of the requested time period is presented.
