Reason for Visit: If the patient had a scheduled appointment, then the complaint specified while scheduling the appointment is displayed here. If the encounter was directly created from the Start Encounter option, the reason entered there appears here. This field can be edited by the user.
Add Complaint: This is an autocomplete field where the user can type a complaint. Alternatively, the user can click the Search
icon to invoke a Complaint search popup and select a complaint from the popup.
These complaints are defined under Settings → Configuration → Masters → Codes.
In the definition, a template and ICD codes are associated with the complaint.
The Complaint search popup also provides an option to add new complaints on the fly (however, no ICD code is assigned to it, and the assigned HPI template is the default one).
If the entered complaint name cannot be autocompleted, then it can be added as a new complaint.
