EMR — Patient Journey Timeline
Status: Under development (GitHub issue #21652). This article is a stub and will be expanded once the feature is released.
The Patient Journey Timeline is a graphical, chronological view of a patient's complete history — from the date of registration to date — on a single time axis. It lets a clinician see the whole story of a patient at a glance instead of opening each encounter separately.
What it shows
Key clinical and administrative events are plotted in chronological order:
- Registration
- OPD visits
- Inpatient admissions and discharges
- Surgeries and procedures
- Major diagnoses
- Significant investigation results
- Immunisations / vaccinations
Each event on the timeline is clickable and opens the underlying record.
Where the data comes from
The timeline reuses the existing longitudinal record — encounters and ClinicalFindingValue records already linked to the patient. No new clinical data entry is required; the timeline is a visualisation layer over data the system already holds.
It builds on the same charting infrastructure as the OPD Health Analytics tab (Blood Pressure, BMI/Weight, and Investigation Results trend charts).
