Encounter Forms are not a necessity especially if you are a strictly a paperless office. Encounter Forms can be used for different reasons which some offices find them helpful and wish to use them.
Setting up Encounter Forms
There are 3 places to find Encounter Forms.
1. Appointment Date:
You can select from the calendar the date you wish to generate the encounter forms.
2. All Patients:
-Check the first box if you want to print Encounter forms that have not been printed. IE, you added appointments throughout the day after running a batch in the morning and need them for the afternoon.
-Instead of the Encounter form printing by visit time, you can check this to print Alphabetically.
-You can chose more specific ranges of times you wish to print.
3. Specific Patient
-You can search your database for just a specific patient as well as which case you want the Encounter form for.
