UI feedback, criticism, and suggestions should be made on this page.
Subject Summary
Demographics
- The current folded demographics line could show more "top leve/important" information. Expand the contents of the demographic summary line to include: Name, gender, DOB, and MR community ID.
- GT: Suggest that current address/phone might be able to be squeezed in given how much room we have. On the drop down, reshow it by field, but in summary show them as sigle line, e.g., (123 Main St, Somewhere Ville, MN 12345)
Interaction with the sections
- Idea for giving the user more control of section layout: Instead of checkboxes, have a menu that lets you rearrange the order of the sections. A user could also choose whether or not to show or hide a section if it's empty (e.g. the user cares to know that there are no diagnoses, would like to see vitals if they exist, but doesn't care if there are no vitals)
- Too much control could be a burden for people who use the application for brief periods of time.
- DS: for the checkbox list titled "Patient Summary Sections", it would be nice to have a "select all/select minimum type of button.
Date Entry
- It seems like most of the date pickers are now consistent. I prefer to just key dates in and the highlighting in the date field helps make it obvious that I can do this. The pointy-clicky date picker does fall down in places where you need to select dates which are not within a few weeks of the current date. For example picking a DOB or entering a consent date range is a pain with the pointy-clicky picker because its hard to select the year. IMO encourage users to just type dates in using the keyboard, its faster! The mask on the typed input should indicate US format, mm/dd/yyyy .
- the mask now (12/05/2011) has placeholder text, when blank, of "mm/dd/yyyy". The current point-and-click interface can change year/month quickly by clicking the year. This interface could still be improved as it's not quite obvious you can click the year. The jQuery UI DatePicker is pretty slick: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#dropdown-month-year
- GT: The jQuery one rocks. No funky little icon necessary next to it either it pops up on focus and you can use it or not.
Other
- Is there anyway to cancel out of a Please Wait popup? Would be nice if I made a mistake on a slow system and could just cancel and go back to where ever I was last.
- JS: This has been brought up before, particularly for searches. This means implementing "Cancel" if we want to do this properly. Currently, it doesn't seem like our architecture supports cancel, especially on the JPA/jdbc side. We could implement a pho cancel on the front-end that just ignores ajax responses once you hit cancel, but the back end will still have to do the work. Another alternative (the easiest), would be to suggest to the user to just refresh the page if they don't want to wait for their action.
