Visit Editor

Complete

The Visit Editor allows you to do all the work of recording the activities in the visit.

It has a tabs for Summary, Invoice, Reminders/Alerts, Documents, Prescriptions and Estimates.

Although the Summary tab looks almost the same as the Patients|Medical Records screen Summary tab, it has two extra buttons at the bottom, OK and Cancel. OK means 'save any changes I have made and exit the visit editor'; Cancel means 'discard any changes I have made and exit the visit editor'.

These OK and Cancel buttons are present on all the tabs. Thus if you press OK on the Invoice tab, you will exit the Visit Editor. If you press OK but didn't intend to exit the Visit Editor, don't worry - just press the Consult button and that will return you to the Visit Editor.

Summary

Complete

This is the Summary tab of the Visit Editor. The screen shot below is taken from an active practice and hence some data has been intentionally blurred.
[Careful observers will also note that this is a screen shot from a system using a modified label for the Find button.]

The buttons are as follows:

OK - save any changes and close the Visit Editor
Cancel - cancel any changes and close the Visit Editor
New - add a new item to the medical record - a window will open allowing you to select the type
Edit - edit the selected item
Delete - delete the selected document - a confirmation window will be displayed
Print - print what is shown on on the screen (or preview it or email it)
Add Visit & Note - pressing this will generate a new visit entry (with Reason 'No Reason') and open the Create/Edit Note window so that you can add a note. This button should NOT be used to create a normal consult visit (for this you should use the Check-In button on the Workflow|Scheduling screen). It is intended for use when creating a note unrelated to another visit, say as a result of a phone call.

This screen is very similar to the Patients|Medical Records Summary tab - see this for further information.
