We can do without a legend, if the shading is made self-evident by one (maybe
both) of the following:
- a character indicator appended (after two spaces) to the right of the result
in the shaded cell
see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnumed-devel/2013-07/pngDRyvVBnnRD.png
- information contained in the tooltip
Several potential scenarios exist, and it may be a good idea to agree first on
a limit to how many colour states.
Might a colour for each of the following be excessive, and how many of these
states should be coalesced?
1. result is above upper limit of *target* range
2. result is above upper limit of *normal* range in 3 situations:
with no target defined
within the target range (think: INR 2.6)
below the lower limit of the target range (INR 1.6)
3. result is within the normal range in 3 situations
with no target defined
within the target range (think: INR < 1.5 peri-procedurally)
below the lower limit of the target range
4. result lacks numeric normal/target data, but is coded / flagged by the lab
4a. with an indicator
4b. with a comment, but no indicator
- plus the mirror (inverses) of #1-3 ...
At the highest level of abstraction, the questions include
1) whether, in the case of results that are computationally evaluable as "high"
or "low", to have distinct colours for
numerically above target (supra-therapeutic, else *unacceptably*
elevated)
numerically below target (infra-therapeutic, else *unacceptably*
depressed)
numerically above normal
numerically below normal
… i.e. 4 shades
… or whether to combine together the two "aboves", and the two "belows"
… and whether -- if combining -- "targets" (when present) overrule
"normals"
2) whether to map, and auto-interpret, a range of potential lab supplied
indicators such as
+ -
high low
h l
as meaning "high" or "low" except I think this could be unreliable depending on
the source labs and the language being used, and therefore clinically risky.
3) whether, in the case of the remaining results, which are *not* readily
evaluable as "high" or "low", but are nonetheless characterized by any of
lab-supplied indicator
lab-supplied comment
clinician-supplied (or revised) indicator
clinician-supplied (or revised) comment
clinician signed-as Abnormal
clinician signed-as Relevant
to assign yet some *other* colour, or to dispense with colour for these.
