I think tooltips are a good idea to explain the intended usage of those
fields.

I agree that standards should be adhered to, but sometime standards seem not
to be esatblished by real life work.

>From https://www.aapc.com/blog/42585-chief-complaint-required/ 

"If the patient record does not reflect a chief complaint, the service is
either:

    A preventive service; or
    Unbillable.
"

So in the case of e.g. a Corona immunization there is nothing in the CC and it
is difficult to write something into HPI, because there is no illness. But
yes, a standard is a standard... ;)

Cheers,
Mathias
