Linking journal entries to events

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

  1. Open the Journal tab of the appropriate patient.

  2. Right-click the journal entry for the appropriate event. 
  3. 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.

The red lock icon indicates a completed event that is missing a required linked journal entry.

  2. Right-click the journal entry for the appropriate event. 
  3. Select Link journal entries.

5. In the Journal entries dialog box, you will see two tabs, Linked and Unlinked.
