In the patient finder if I am doing a search in the name field, I cannot search for both first and last names.
In our system, we are displaying patients as lastname, firstname. If I enter the string lastname in the search field, I can see this patient. If I enter lastname, (with the comma) or lastname (with a space), nothing is displayed. Same as when I try to do something with the values for firstname.
Is there a way to be able to search by both first and last names here? Am I doing something wrong in the config perhaps?
It seems like the search in general here is pretty basic and doesn’t work as expected.
For example, when I try to search for a patient by DOB I must input YYYY-MM-DD format, no matter what format I have my dates set at. My providers are telling me that this is not intuitive for them and they would prefer to enter MM/DD, as they sometimes may not have/know the year to input. But that results in a datatable json error.
I also think it’s not intuitive to have multiple inputs at the top of the columns if those inputs do not result in a compound search, as you say. That’s not a good user experience.
I’m surprised at how much grief I’m getting over this issue. They say that it worked much differently (and as they expected) in previous versions.
in previous versions when you clicked in the search fields they would highlight and that would trigger the javascript to modify the url that calls patient_select.php, will see if there’s an easy fix
for sure
