GGE form - fields to default to No or Unknown #59

Closed BrigidRegan closed 8 years ago

BrigidRegan commented 9 years ago

Is it possible to have fields default to No or Unknown? Unless this is too hard or creates problems! For GGE, can we please have...

Default to No: Patient deceased Febrile seizures Generalized Tonic-Clonic Myoclonic Absence Atypical Absence Tonic Atonic Other seizure types Intellectual disability Autism Spectrum Disorder Psychosis Reported family history of consanguinity

Default to Unknown: Ethnicity Classical febrile seizures Other seizures provoked by fever Neurological examination Type of epileptiform Type of generalised epileptiform Type of photo paroxysmal response Drug resistant Family history First degree relative affected

Two things:

  1. it is not easy to implement
  2. it’s a dangerous endeavour because the person filling the form will not know whether a field was filled by her or the system.

There is also a qualitative difference in the interpretation of data not filled to unknown and I would rather capture this than overriding decisions.
