openClinicare > ER/IP/OP > Current Visit Data Incorrectly Flowing into Past Visit Tab
0%
Description
Description:
The system is currently displaying ongoing (current) visit information under the Past Visit tab, which is not logically correct. A visit should only be classified as a past visit once it has been completed (discharged/checked out/closed).
Expected Behavior:
*SCENARIO 1:*
Any active/ongoing visit (ER / OP / IP) should be reflected only in:
- Encounter Summary
- Collaborative Notes (History tab)
Not appear in the Past Visit tab while the visit is still ongoing.
*SCENARIO 2 :*
Single Journey Across Locations:
Patient registers in OPD
Doctor decides to admit patient to IP
This entire flow is considered one continuous visit (single journey).
Therefore:
It should not be split or reflected as a past visit
It should remain under:
- Encounter Summary
- Collaborative Notes (History tab)
Completed Visit Once the visit is Discharged / Checked out / Closed.
Then, the entire visit should move and be captured under the Past Visit tab.
Readmission Scenario:
If the same patient is readmitted after a gap (e.g., 2 days later):
The previous completed visit should then appear under Past Visit.
The new visit should be treated as a new current visit.
Not be mixed with previous visit data.
Current Issue:
Ongoing visits are prematurely appearing under the Past Visit tab.
This creates confusion in distinguishing between active care episodes and completed visits.
Impact:
1) Misrepresentation of patient journey
2) Clinical confusion in tracking active vs completed encounters
3) Potential documentation and audit inconsistencies
