Address Auto-Update Issue: A Comprehensive Guide to Decoupling Facility and Hospital Names

When creating new prospects, it's essential to have control over the facility or hospital name, especially when using suggested addresses from Google. The system should not automatically update these fields, as it can lead to unintended changes. In this article, we'll explore the issue of address auto-update and provide a solution to decouple these fields, ensuring that users have the flexibility to edit the organization name to their preference.

The problem arises when users select an address suggested by Google, which automatically populates the facility or hospital name. However, Google only provides a generic name, which may not accurately reflect the organization's name. This can lead to confusion and errors, especially when dealing with sensitive information.

To address this issue, we've established the following acceptance criteria:

  • When I select an address suggested by Google, I should be able to edit the name of the organization that was automatically populated by Google to my own preference as Google only gives a generic name.

To prevent unintended changes and give users more control over the facility or hospital name, we recommend decoupling these fields. This means that the system should not automatically update the facility or hospital name based on the selected address. Instead, users should be able to edit the name to their preference.

Decoupling facility and hospital names offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved accuracy: By allowing users to edit the organization name, we can ensure that the information is accurate and up-to-date.
  • Increased flexibility: Decoupling these fields gives users more control over the information they enter, making it easier to manage and update.
  • Reduced errors: By preventing automatic updates, we can reduce the risk of errors and inconsistencies in the data.

To implement decoupling, we can follow these steps:

  1. Separate fields: Create separate fields for the facility or hospital name and the address.
  2. Disable auto-update: Disable the automatic update feature that populates the facility or hospital name based on the selected address.
  3. Allow editing: Allow users to edit the facility or hospital name to their preference.
  4. Validate input: Validate the input to ensure that it meets the required format and standards.

Here's an example use case that demonstrates the benefits of decoupling facility and hospital names:

  • A user selects an address suggested by Google, which automatically populates the facility or hospital name as "Generic Hospital".
  • The user wants to edit the name to "ABC Hospital" to reflect the organization's actual name.
  • With decoupling, the user can edit the name to their preference, ensuring that the information is accurate and up-to-date.

In conclusion, decoupling facility and hospital names is a crucial step in preventing unintended changes and giving users more control over the information they enter.
