Introduction: The Items screen facilitates the addition of Items to the current Encounter and provides a snapshot of both estimated and actual consumption. Item details are presented in tabular format, showcasing key information such as Item Description, Unit, Required Quantity, and Actual Quantity. Users can add items to the encounter by accessing the list of pre-defined items via the Add Item icon. Users can allocate required items to specific Procedures through the Specialty Template Master screen (Accessible via Settings → Configuration → Specialty column → Template → Assign button → Inventory Items popup). All items assigned to a Procedure template are automatically added in this screen once the corresponding Procedure template is answered in the encounter on the Specialty screen.
