Updated Occupation and Industry Dropdowns in Social History

What’s New

• Occupation and Industry fields now use searchable dropdowns for both Present and Past entries.

• Dropdowns dynamically return matching results based on user input instead of preloading all values.

• Updated occupation and industry datasets are applied across all relevant Social History fields.

• Previously saved values are retained and displayed for existing patient records.

• Selected values are stored using standardized backend codes.

How It Works

• Navigate to Patient > Clinical > History > Social History > Occupation.

• In the Present Occupation or Past Occupation field, begin typing to search the updated occupation dataset.

• Matching occupation values appear dynamically in a dropdown, displayed by name only.

• Select an occupation to apply it to the patient record; the corresponding code is stored in the backend.

• To change a selection, click the cross (×) icon next to the existing value and perform a new search.

• The same searchable behavior applies to Present Industry and Past Industry fields using the updated industry dataset.

• Previously saved occupation and industry values appear at the top of the dropdown and remain selected unless replaced.

• When a new value is selected, the prior value is removed and replaced with the new selection.

• Protects historical scheduling data from unintended modification.

• Enforces clearer separation of scheduling responsibilities through permissions.
