To the designer of the new look of the Demographics (more) page:
My wife was working at the front desk this morning. She is used to the older interface. I went live today with the most recent code from cvs. Everything went smoothly, but she had a complaint about the Demographics (more) page where the user enters the patient’s demographics. When she clicked ‘Save Patient Demographics’, a dialog came up saying ‘Please choose a value for Provider’. She then had to click on a check box labeled ‘Choices’ which caused another form to appear with the provider option. It took some searching around to figure this out.
The idea of hiding parts of the demographics form like this is good, but any required information should not be hidden. Does ‘provider’ have to be required information?
Also, checkboxes may not be the best choice here. A small graphic of a circle with an arrow where the arrow goes from pointing to the right to pointing down when the form appears would be good.
