Re: [Health] Freely configurable Party and Products Flags with Configurable Per-Group Defaults

[Alexandre Aguiar]

Not sure to have fully understood.
IMHO, static roles defined by flags may not describe facts as they are. The role of a party (not necessarily one and often simultaneous) is defined by which  records are accecible by whom and when. A good management of access rules is enough. Though, some flags may be usefull in products to enhance safety.
People id may become a major concern if and when GH becomes used in multinational datawarehousing systems. Some sort of soundex search and hashes will probably be incorporated. Note that several countries are paving the way to close many hospitals that are going to be used only for surgical procedures. In France, for instance, it is predicted that there will be no more than 3 regional hospitals in 25 years. With most treatments conducted at patients' homes, datawarehousing, useful to GH today, will be mandatory in a few years and patient idenfication will have to be tougher on  desambiguation.

My 2 cents.

Dear All,
One important issue that I would loe to see in the next version of GNU
Health, and that would make the GNU Health workflow more logical:
Patient registration at the party level, with automatic creation of
patent ID, and SSN, if the new party is a patient.
This would include default setting of fields like is_patient=TRUE for
certain groups, e.g. group=PATIENT_REGISTRATION - but this can currently
not be achieved in a freely configurable manner, b8t only, if patients
are added as patients, not parties.
Further flags will be helpful, ideally even freely editable flags, like:
Add flags to party: patient, employee, etc.
Also: Add flags to products: vaccine, drugs, etc, all of the above with
freely configurable defaults for certain user groups.
Does this make sense?
Bests,
Chris
