"View Diagnosis History" is confusing to use.

[ngkaiwen123]

When symptoms are updated, it seems that past diagnosis and present diagnosis are mixed together. This makes it difficult to track what is the latest diagnosis of the patient.

After the first input of symptoms, the diagnosis is that I have a "fever, stomachache and and food posioning".
This is correctly shown in the view diagnosis history, shown below.

However, after deletion of a symptom, say "fever", my new diagnosis is simply "Stomach Ache" (Below)

When I went back to check the "View Diagnosis History" again, there is no new diagnosis shown. It is unsure whether the diagnosis of "Stomach Ache" is mixed within the first diagnosis history, or is it not created? Is it also possibly a functionality bug?

Shown below is after diagnosis of "stomachache".

Team's Response

After deleting some symptoms, we believe that updating your current diagnosis is sufficient for a patient, without needing to update your past diagnoses. Therefore, if your current diagnosis is not included in your diagnosis history for that day, it will be added in; if it is already present, it will be ignored. This is not a feature flaw, but rather, an intended design of the feature, since the diagnosis history is supposed to reflect all diagnoses the patient received, which should include any past diagnoses received. Hence this is out of scope.

Items for the Tester to Verify

❓ Issue response

Team chose [response.NotInScope]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: Although the diagnosis history is supposed to reflect all diagnosis that the patient has received, it could have very well separated the diagnosis into two separate rows for each attempt at diagnosing the patient, rather than throwing the latest diagnosis into the existing diagnosis history.

If the patient were to accidentally entered a wrong symptom in the first diagnosis, and removed a symptom to get a new diagnosis, the diagnosis history will not be able to accurately reflect what the patient is diagnosed with. (E.g, User may have accidentally entered a symptom of "fever", hence obtaining a diagnosis of "fever".

Upon removing symptom to get new diagnosis, the diagnosis history still reflects "fever" as a past diagnosis, despite it being a wrong diagnosis)

The format could have been improved into the following:

Your diagnosis history is:
2023/04/14 (Diagnosis 1): [Food Poisoning, Stomach Ache, Fever]
2023/04/14 (Latest Diagnosis): [Stomach Ache]

❓ Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low]
Originally [severity.Medium]

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement:

Using the definition of "severity level" as shown by the screenshot above, this feature flaw causes much inconveinience to the user, which should have remained at severity.Medium.

Diagnosis history is presented in a confusing manner that users have a difficult time figuring out which is their latest diagnosis. This is not just a "minor inconvenience", but a rather frequent one. Situtations where patients accidentally entered a wrong symptom and hence resulting in a wrong diagnosis should be accounted for.
