No way ! :-) What the test_org thinks is what they think.
GNUmed wouldn't dare alter that even if a misguided user
thinks that'd be a good idea.
Doh! I misunderstood it to be recorded into each test_result table
row acknowledged by a clinician but I see the signing information is
recorded in Reviewed_Test_Results).
I am not sure how the clinician's decision about technically_abnormal
interacts with the test_org's determination... maybe the test_org's
indicator of abnormality should be offered as the default value for
what is to be signed by the clinical, and the value of storing the
clinician's value separately would in all likelihood be limited to:
- situations when the lab's workflow did not easily allow them to
send an abnormality indicator with a particular test type and/or
- errors made by the lab in which case the clinician may wish to over-
ride how the result is regarded in GNUmed
(this would spare dependence on getting the lab to fix or change
something, which can be a hassle and which the test_org may or may
not get around to doing and therefore may or may not reissue that
result)
If a signer-assigned value for "technically abnormal" exists, should
that take the place of what the test_org had assigned (not in the
data table but) as represented in the grid?
Is there a useful way to capture or represent a combination of the
test_org indicator, the clinician-determined technical abnormality
and the clinician-determined clinical significance in that padding to
the right of each cell?
