# Pre-Hospital Care Form - Patch Summary

## Overview
This patch introduces two major improvements to the Pre-Hospital Care Form system: enabling multiple consciousness level selections and implementing mobile-friendly date/time input controls across all form fields.

---

## PATCH 1: Multiple Consciousness Level Selection

### Problem
Users could only select one consciousness level (Alert, Verbal, Pain, or Unconscious) at a time, but real-world scenarios often require recording multiple states simultaneously.

### Solution
Converted consciousness level fields from radio buttons to checkboxes, allowing multiple selections with proper backend storage using JSON arrays.

### Files Modified

#### Frontend Files:
- **public/prehospital_form.php**
  - Changed `type="radio"` to `type="checkbox"` for both Initial and Follow-up consciousness fields
  - Updated field names to array format: `name="initial_consciousness[]"` and `name="followup_consciousness[]"`
  - Lines affected: 987-999, 1074-1087

- **public/edit_record.php**
  - Converted radio buttons to checkboxes with array names
  - Added JSON decoding logic to parse stored consciousness arrays
  - Implemented `in_array()` checks to properly mark checkboxes as checked when editing
  - Lines affected: 81-91, 1117-1136, 1219-1238

- **public/view_record.php**
  - Added JSON decoding for consciousness values
  - Implemented comma-separated display for multiple selections (e.g., "Alert, Verbal")
  - Maintains backward compatibility with single-value records
  - Lines affected: 807-823, 835-851

- **public/js/prehospital-form.js**
  - Updated form summary generation to collect all checked consciousness checkboxes
  - Changed from `querySelector` (single) to `querySelectorAll` (multiple)
  - Display multiple values as comma-separated list in summary
  - Lines affected: 316-317, 331-332

#### Backend API Files:
- **api/save_prehospital_form.php**
  - Updated to accept consciousness as array from POST data
  - Implemented JSON encoding: `json_encode(array_map(function($val) { return sanitize($val, false); }, $_POST['initial_consciousness']))`
  - Stores multiple consciousness values as JSON string in database
  - Lines affected: 281, 293

- **api/update_record.php**
  - Updated to handle consciousness arrays during record updates
  - Applies same JSON encoding logic as save operation
  - Lines affected: 249, 261

- **api/autosave_draft.php**
  - Added array detection and JSON encoding for autosave functionality
  - Maintains backward compatibility: `is_array($data['initial_consciousness']) ? json_encode($data['initial_consciousness']) : ($data['initial_consciousness'] ?? null)`
  - Lines affected: 131, 142

- **api/get_record.php**
  - Implemented JSON decoding for consciousness fields in modal view
  - Displays multiple values as comma-separated, capitalized list
  - Handles both array and single-value formats for backward compatibility
  - Lines affected: 319-335, 344-360

### Database Changes
- **Storage Format**: Consciousness fields now store JSON arrays (e.g., `["alert","verbal"]`)
- **Backward Compatibility**: Old single-value records continue to work correctly

### Benefits
- ✅ Users can select multiple consciousness levels simultaneously
- ✅ More accurate patient assessment documentation
- ✅ Backward compatible with existing records
- ✅ Proper display across all views (form, edit, view, modal)

- **No Additional Server Load**: All processing done client-side

---

## Future Enhancements (Optional)

### Consciousness Levels:
- Add validation to require at least one selection if consciousness is being recorded
- Add custom consciousness states beyond the four default options
- Implement consciousness level tracking over time with timestamps

### Date/Time Inputs:

- Implement smart defaults (e.g., current date/time for new records)
- Add keyboard shortcuts for power users
- Implement date/time presets for common scenarios

---

## Rollback Instructions

If issues are encountered, rollback can be performed by:

### For Consciousness Levels:
1. Revert changes in form files (change checkboxes back to radio buttons)
2. Revert backend APIs (remove JSON encoding/decoding)
3. Run database migration to convert JSON arrays back to single values (if needed)

### For Date/Time Pickers:
1. Remove Flatpickr initialization code blocks
2. Remove enhanced mobile CSS styling
3. Forms will fall back to native browser date/time inputs
4. No database changes needed (data format unchanged)
