Patient Centric Documents (Advanced templates with filterable document sections) has been an idea brewing for the last two months.
I have been engaged in various other projects (Dr Frank's research project, APCC PDSA's and an Online E-Health upload facility. PCD's (acronyms - don't you hate them) have taken a back seat and thus longer than usual to complete.
The possibilities for PCD's are quite extensive. PCD's overcome a lot of the limitations of simple letter templates and will eventually be able to create COMPLETE GPMP's and TCA's with information relevent to the individual patient for which the EPC item is being created.
For example - if the patient has a Past Hx a chronic condition (such as CCF), a management Plan for that condition will be included in the final document (but is not included if the patient does not have that condition).
During development of the PCD component I have included much more functionality than my initial intention. I see more functional possibilities and the need for many refinements, but for now I am looking forward to developing PCD templates to shorten the time normally taken for creation of EPC items.
The PCD generated docs will be visually and content-wise far superior to my usual cut and paste hacks.
I have uploaded a short video demo of PCD's a few days ago. The video is already out of date with regard to feature set.
