Patient Care Goal

[jackcmeyer]

🚀 Feature Proposal

Add the ability to define care goals for a patient.

Care Goal is WHAT e.g. Decreases blood pressure by 15 points
Care Plan is HOW e.g. Exercise for 1 hour each day and decrease soda intake to 1 serving per week.

A care goal is defined as:

• an identifier
• status: proposed, planned, accepted, active, on hold, completed, cancelled, rejected
• achievementStatus:in progress, improving, worsening, no change, achieved, not achieved, no progress, not attainable
• priority: high, medium, low
• description
• patient
• start date
• due date
• created date
• note

Motivation

Define care goals for a patient

[EmilioCastilloW]

Hi! I see that this post is now open for contributions. Can you elaborate a little bit more? Where will the "care goal" be implemented? As part of the Patient information? As a separate function?

[jackcmeyer]

Hi @EmilioCastilloW.

The Care Goal, for now, will be a tab right next to Care Plan.

It will just be another property that is located on the patient object.

[EmilioCastilloW]

Thanks, I will give it a try and share it with you.

[jackcmeyer]

Awesome, I've assigned this to you @EmilioCastilloW

A care goal is defined as:

* an identifier

* status: `proposed`, `planned`, `accepted`, `active`, `on hold`, `completed`, `cancelled`, `rejected`

* achievementStatus:`in progress`, `improving`, `worsening`, `no change`, `achieved`, `not achieved`, `no progress`, `not attainable`

* priority: `high`, `medium`, `low`

* description

* patient

* start date

* due date

* created date

* note

I think the Care Goal needs to belong/be linked to a Care Plan, and this would be a 1 to many relationship i.e. 1 Care Plan is made up of 1 or more Care Goals

@jackcmeyer, you may assign this to me since it looks like no-one is working on this anymore?

[jackcmeyer]

@blestab yes! you're certainly right. We had plans of linking these together, however, we were going to do that in a future issue. You're more than welcome to work on it 🙂

No one working on this ? I'd be glad to help

[blestab]

Hi @rsousaj I am busy with this one, we'll find you something else to do.

[blestab]

hi @rsousaj, good news, just realised i have another PR on my name i still need to fix so i have put this one you your name, if that's alright

[rsousaj]

Yeah, off course. I'm glad to help

I presume that Care Goal will come first than Care Plan at Tab Header, am I right ? I've just realized that makes more sense to comes after Care Plan. But I'll leave here to clarify.

And Care Goal also has a title, right ?
