I've been looking forward to this feature. We need Visits to group together the multiple encounters and labs a patient might have for one hospital visit.
Some of the ways it will be important: * for providers - so they can quickly see what's going on during a visit, and find the labs associated with it * for registration staff - it'll make it easier to see which patient charts should have come back for data entry * for Ministry of Health reporting - how many patient visits occurred within a month, which can be tricky to do with encounters; how long they lasted; etc. etc. The data model will support all these uses. I'm delighted by the visit attributes and types. Is it Christmas? That will be a handy way to flag things. I'm thinking of cases like a visit included surgery or admission, or that a visit shouldn't be counted, like for blood donation. You haven't mentioned the Visit Service API yet. I expect to make a lot of queries for "show me all the visits in progress (started and not stopped)" - e.g. for the registration staff to see whose charts are out; show me all the encounters of type X in a visit that's in progress - e.g. show me everyone in the ICU today; and "show me the most recent visit and associated encounter list for Patient X" - e.g. I'm looking at Patient X's dashboard to treat them. Thanks for the update. I look forward to helping test.
