List Manager (LM) has proven to be a pretty useful tool. I used it to (somewhat) quickly build a result reporting tool where the user can search by DOB or name to come up with a list of test results from our new lab system (the new LIS doesn't have a search by DOB function. As most of our HIV data is non-nominal, the clinic needs to be able to search by DOB to determine new cases). Once they get a list of results, they can drill down to look at the patient demographics, test name/result, ordering physician information, etc.
The LM Developer Guide on the VDL seems to be a draft document, last updated in 1998. It does a good job of showing the basics, but doesn't show some of the more advanced stuff I was really interested in (protocols that deal with the VistA evetn model, for example). I built our LM application by using the LM developer guide, but also by studying how CPRS (non-gui) uses LM. As I learn more, my hope is to be able to build an application for STD clinics. Our clinic here has certian screen flow requirements, based on the sex of the patient, type of tests, etc. My aim is to satisfy these requirements with LM. The biggest limitation, for me right now, is the lack of documentation available. THis leaves me with having to learn by trial and error. I've been documenting everything I do with intentions of putting it all on the wiki. So stay tuned. I guess the biggest feature is that with the combination of LM, and the Fileman DBS API (Screenman too), you can quickly build a nicely featured CHUI application. I'll find out just how well featured it is as I am demoing my software this afternoon! thanks...
