Moving Existing Items into a Problem

If a patient record has entries not linked to a Problem, or linked to the wrong Problem, you can move them to the right Problem or, if required, create a new Problem.

To move an entry or add a problem from an existing entry you can:

Simply select the item to move or copy, hold the mouse click and either:

  • Copy - Drag the selected item(s) over the target problem and drop them which copies the item(s), or
  • Move - Hold down the Shift key and drag the selected item(s) over the target problem and drop them which moves the item(s).
  • Create - You can also drop items on to the New Problem line at the bottom of the list in order to create a new problem.
  1. From Consultation Manager , select the patient required and start a consultation if required.
  2. Right click on the entry(s) and select Problems.
  3. The Current Problems screen displays:

  4. Tick/untick the Problem(s) to link/unlink the selected entry, or select New Problem to add a new problem, see Adding a Problem for details.
Note - Keep the tick in Encounter (Currently Relevant) as this denotes the problem as being an active one.
  1. Select OK.

To copy all the data within a Problem, simply drag and drop the Problem header and drop it onto the Windows clipboard of the Floating Drop Target.

This can be useful for adding relevant data to a letter, a referral or test request.
