Currently if a template is changed part of the way through a patient's stay, any treatments that have been completed prior to the change will be removed. When you attempt to change a template after information has been entered for treatments, you will receive a pop-up that gives a warning about loss of information.

We received a request from a clinic for the ability to lock the template once treatments begin, as they are concerned the pop-up may not be enough to prevent someone from changing the template and therefore deleting treatments that had been completed. This would be particularly useful in teaching hospitals where a student may wish to change a template, but they would first need to check with the clinician to do so if it was "locked".

Is this something you would find useful in your hospital as well? Do you find you have encountered loss of information after a template has been changed during the patient's stay? Let us know!
