Hi. I'm putting together a worklist function for a client, and I'm pulling the information out of the database for patients that are checked in. I'd like to add a status column in the database so I can mark the patients that I've already put in the worklist.
Does this sound like a good/bad idea (modifying the clearcanvas database)? Otherwise I'd keep a flat file or something to keep track of it.
I'm worried that putting an extra column in the database might cause problems.
