And now from the broad to the super-specific. Namely, Bert's point about AC's responsiveness (or lack thereof) and orders.
AC, as it exists today, does not value the community's input.
When you print a lab requisition, the documentation in the chart is:
ORDERED/ADVISED: - Custom Order (CBC
ESR
CMP
LDH)
Why do we need Custom Order?
Why is CBC on the first line?
Why do we need parentheses?
It is all about what is important to the developer and what is important to the end user. For me, formatting is huge. For the developer, not so much. But, if a hundred users are telling you the same thing, edit the line of code that puts parentheses there and tell the program to put the first lab two lines down.
Suppose I told you that my documentation looks like this:
ORDERED/ADVISED: - CBC
- ESR
- CMP
- LDH
Trivially different? Perhaps...but no custom order, no parentheses, and if you just have one order, CBC on line 1 might be better.
This is not to undercut your point about AC's responsiveness; I think most would agree that the Orders section is ripe for significant change. On the other hand, it does illustrate there are often different ways to accomplish things within the program.
