Add multi-option question support for patient questionnaire
We rely on patient questionnaires to capture data not already in the patient information window. This is important for us because federal data submission guidelines and standards that we are held to require this information. However, there is no easy way to deal with 'choose one of the following options' questions, where a set of answers is predefined. We are forced to generate a series of Yes/No questions that cover every possible option. That makes for one ugly questionnaire that confuses the patients and employees entering the data back into the system.
Throw a couple tables in the database to hold value list definitions, make a window for updating and modifying these definitions, generate some nice output (maybe checkboxes) on the printed questionnaire for these types of questions, and have a drop-down in the questionnaire input window. You could even save the entered responses as strings like free-text answers.
Please don't make me do this myself....
