Events can have journal entries linked to them, and event types can be configured to require linked journal entries.
Creating a journal entry linked to an event
Open the Journal tab of the appropriate patient.
- Highlight the appropriate event and R-click
- Select Create linked journal entry.
4. In the Patient journal entry dialog box, use the drop-down menu to select a journal entry type.
5. In the text box, enter the desired notes, using text snippets as needed.
You can save time by creating a single journal entry and linking it to multiple appointments, eliminating the need for duplicate entries.
The red lock icon indicates a completed event that is missing a required linked journal entry.
Viewing linked and unlinked journal entries
Open the Journal tab of the appropriate patient.
- Right-click the journal entry for the appropriate event.
- Select Link journal entries.
5. In the Journal entries dialog box, you will see two tabs, Linked and Unlinked.
a. Linked will display the journal entries that are currently linked to the selected event.
b. Unlinked will display the journal entries that are available to link to the event.
