[Gnumed-devel] automatic episode naming

[Karsten Hilbert]

Richard, all,

assume you entered a progress note. You did not select
beforehand which episode it belongs to.

Upon saving the system will try to determine a suitable name
for the episode. First it will enforce that the progress
note contains at least RFE and Plan. It then uses either
Assessment or RFE (in that order) to chose a name for the
episode.

Now the question:

Should then the user be *prompted* for editing/ changing/
selecting the episode (name) the progress note actually
really belongs to ?

The alternative would be:

Assume that an "as-yet unassociated progress note" is just
that - a *new* problem - or else the problem would have been
pre-selected from the problem list. Hence guess a "good"
episode name and store the progress note under that name as
a new episode. The user can always come in later and
associate the note with another episode (which, of course,
won't happen in a busy practice).
