Requirements: Physio Events

Background

For information on why this needs to be a feature, see the discussion in Issue 28

A New Role for Physical Therapists

Physical therapists need the following rights:

1. The ability to add/edit appointments
2. The ability to add/edit/delete physical therapy events
3. The ability to read-only patient records, including visits, procedures, and the related notes

Therefore, we need a new role defined in the system with rights that support that sphere of capabilities.

A New Model for Physical Therapy Events

The model is primarily a wrapper for the Notes feature, thus any work on this feature should occur after that PR has been merged to master. The event is marked by an attending physical therapist, a clinical note (Notes feature), and a date.

Physical Therapy Events Screen

Physio events should be an additional list of activities under a Visit, similar to the workflow for Labs or Imaging.

Prescribing Physical Therapy

Clinicians need the ability to prescribe Physical Therapy, either from an open Visit or separately as an event in itself.

Auto-creation of a Visit for a Physical Therapy Event

Similar to creating a new lab request/result, Physical Therapists need the ability to select a Patient and then either attached the Physical Therapy event to an existing Visit or a new visit. See the application workflow for New Labs for examples.

Queue of Physical Therapy Events

New Appointment Type

Similar to labs or imaging, appointments must be capable of being set for a Physical Therapy event.
