Proposed Solution

Administration

1. Add a new section called "Form Upload" with similar look and layout.

2. Create data fields to allow multiple form uploads.

3. Each data field should have a label so that the Admin can name the form uploaded.

User

1. Add a new section between Contact and Choices. Name it "Advance Directives".

2. The checkbox should work like the other sections when click on: a boxed text block appears.

3. Create data fields for the followings:

Completed Advance Directives? [Yes/No]
Type of Advance Directives Completed: [ ]
Last Reviewed Date: [ ]

4. Find a place to link the uploaded forms. The user can easily download/open the form by clicking on the link.

5. For #3, if any form is completed, then on the Demographics page (see screenshot above), put a red button after Advance Directives. [x] Advance Directives [Completed]

6. When the red [Completed] button is clicked, show the completed forms for the active patient. The user can click on the link to download/open any form.

Based on the review and feedback at SF, we propose the following changes:

1. Move Advance Directives from Demographics section to Patients > Medical Records.

The following Documents categories and subcategories will be created:

Advance Directives - Do Not Resuscitate - Durable Power of Attorney - Living Will

2. Create a link and section in Summary so that the provider can access the completed forms quickly.

3. Provide a status (color coded) to tell the provider if any of the Advance Directives has been completed.

4. Remove file upload in Administration.
