Closing a Consultation
After entering clinical details, you can close a consultation by either:
- Selecting the next patient, you do not need to manually close the first consultation, as selecting the next patient deselects the current patient, and their consultation automatically closes.
- Selecting Close Consultation ,
- Pressing Shift+F7 on your keyboard.
- Selecting Consultation - Close Consultation.
This records the End Time for the consultation, and from the Start Time, calculates the Duration of the consultation.
In Consultation - Options - Setup, you can choose to deselect a patient automatically when a consultation is closed.
See Whether to Display the Close Consultation Screen, If Duration of Consultation is More Than One Hour, If no data in consultation when closed and If unprinted therapy items when deselecting for further details.
