Sample Description

The PatientSearchInputBox allows entry of freeform text representing search criteria for a patient. It parses the criteria and its resultant constituent parts are exposed as properties.

Sample Details

The PatientSearchInputBox (PSIB) sample allows the user to enter the details of the patient in either a 'freetext' or 'structured' format. The 'freetext' format allows the user to input the patient details in whichever order is desired. The PSIB will attempt to correctly identify which detail belongs to which field. Alternately, the PSIB can switch to a more structured form of input that details the order in which the details should be input, with a comma used as a separator. This structured form of input can be set by the developer to whichever structure they deem appropriate for their application.

Another feature of the PSIB is that it can be set to either process the details on a per keystroke basis or the user can actively initiate processing when they have finished their data entry.
