Upon reviewing my post and your screenshot, and revisiting the application, I noticed that point #1 in my post is not correct! My apologies. I don't know how I missed that. The list is indeed sorted alphabetically. Sorry I missed that. The other points remain, though in some cases they are my attempt at providing a solution that makes finding and selecting the right individual or organization easier and quicker, that is perhaps only one way to go about it. I know you are concerned about the complexity of the application. Perhaps it would work to establish some protocol for grouping individuals if you don't like the examples in my suggestion, and make grouping an option that may be turned on or off by the user, defaulting it to off so that users who are not concerned about it need never bother with it. I ask only because in today's medical environment I find that more and more I have to be the one to keep accurate records of what practitioners diagnose, test, treat, prescribe, etc. because I find that the medical industry doesn't do a good job of it any more. It is what makes your software so special and needed. But I'd like to spend minimal (but valued) time entering historical medical details, so my suggestions usually speak to efficiency and/or accuracy. My goal with your software is to be able to track every concern in enough related detail and to be able to uncover (remember) the whole story whenever I stumble on any related item (through following the relationships). Because eventually my memory will not suffice.
Thanks for your patience in reading my posts and I hope you take then in the vein that I intend - to help make a better product.
