Affected users: Clinic administrative staff, intake secretaries, and clinical coordinators responsible for opening and managing patient files.
Task affected: During the patient intake process, registration, or file update within the patient's demographic section in MYLE.
Impact: Medium impact. The lack of standardized dropdown fields for Language, Living Environment, Parent Employment Status, and Referring Organization makes it impossible to extract reliable statistics or generate automated institutional reports. Compiling this data is currently highly subject to human error.
Current state: Users must type these details manually as free text in the patient file notes or track them externally in Excel spreadsheets, leading to fragmented information and significant administrative overhead.
