Consider a scenario wherein an appointment has been scheduled for one of the Resource in the Clinic, then: A Resource has the provision to start an Encounter. The field: Attending Provider , found in the screen: Start Encounter now also lists out the available resource's name along with the names of the providers. The tab: Appointment in the home page also displays the Resource name under the column: Provider. Also, throughout the encounter the Resource's name appears as the Attending doc. But, a Resource CANNOT close an encounter. Thus, if a provider happens to change the ‘Attending Provider' information from the screen: Edit Encounter and save the record then the trace of the Resource's name is replaced from the Encounter details totally; the home page displays the provider's name (replaced) instead of the Resource's; and the field: Attending Provider (found in the screen: Start Encounter) too no longer displays the Resource's name in the list. The appointments scheduled for resources have the Resource name mentioned in the appointment details irrespective of any change done by a provider, this is property based. If the value for the property, appointment.keep.resource.doc is SET as ‘Y' then the name on the appointment details maintains the Resource's name. |
A hyperlink: Print Template has been provided in the screen: Specialty Template (GoTo tab: Settings → Configuration → column: Specialty → Template). Through this link, user gains access to the form associated with the template in the edit mode and changes saved are effective immediately. |

The following system alert is displayed incase the patient is a minor and the user is trying to save the user’s Responsible Person as ‘Self’. Refer to figure 2.3 Note: The system will NOT allow saving of the details till the user does not save the Responsible Person's details. |

From the screen: Prescription ( GoTo a patient's Encounter → TOC → Prescription), a provider prescribes drugs and provides the proper ‘directions' for the consumption or usage of these drugs. These directions are meant to be either long term or non-long term. If a provider prefers to provide same directions for both long term drugs and non long term drugs at the time of prescription then the provider has to SET the values for two related properties. Property tags : rx.lt.direction.days and rx.nlt.direction.days are the two properties whose values when SET with same values (i.e. either FD or DD) works to provide same ‘directions' to the long term and non-long term drugs being prescribed. |
