  3. You can now add to or edit the Encounter as required, see Adding Clinical Data and Editing Data for details.
  4. Once you have finished updating the Encounter, select Close this Encounter .

To be able to update the last closed Encounter you must be:

  • A Vision 3 practice user.

  • Logged on as the originator of the entry and have editing rights.

  • Online with the same device as the original entry was made with.

To update the last closed Encounter:
