calculate epidural wait time #17

I don't see the utility of this in the day-to-day UI except for Anaesthetist-bashing ?!?!

Certainly it's good analytics to have and I'd focus efforts instead on an analytics view, with data about:

total activity (numbers)
epidural insertions grouped by time of day
wait time - averages (grouped by time of day)
failure rates
'delivered before we got around to doing the epidural' rates
PDPH rates
blood patching numbers

(and in fact adding this kind of stuff is easy to do so hospitals can have custom lists very easily)

this was partly a proof of concept exercise to show me how to do a custom JS filter in OPAL. But I think it's utility comes in triaging the requests. I was planning to sort request the list by wait time. It's also potential useful data point for managing team workload. e.g. you might request a hand from main site.

1) for the UI, filtering by EpiduralRequest.request_date_time would achieve the same thing, right?

2) for the purpose of requesting help from another site... maybe, yes, waiting time could be of use. (Expect that feature to create implementation resistance though, even if it is unfounded, and the feature is aimed at driving up quality :-) )
