How to open a consultation.

If a healthcare center does not offer admission services, the forthcoming explanation pertaining to the use of the terms consultation and admission within this manual may be disregarded. In such instances, any reference to admission within this manual would not be applicable to such a center.

In this manual, the term consultation serves as an umbrella term that includes both consultations and admissions. These two events are managed through a unified interface, with minor variations to accommodate their unique requirements (for instance, the admission interface incorporates a discharge button).

While the interface largely remains consistent, there are instances where differentiation becomes necessary. In such scenarios, the term Consultation is specifically used when the interface is accessed for an inpatient, while Admission refers to the interface as it appears for an outpatient. An inpatient is a patient who stays in the hospital for one or more nights while receiving treatment. On the other hand, an outpatient is a patient who visits a healthcare facility for diagnosis or treatment but does not stay overnight.

Instructions :

1. Go to the homepage and click a consultation from either the pending or ongoing tables, or open an admission from one of the admission ward tables.
2. When you click on a consultation from the completed or discharged tables, it will open in the Previous Consultation page instead of the usual Consultation page. To switch to the standard Consultation page view, scroll down to the bottom of the Previous Consultation page and hit the Edit button. The presence of the Edit button at the bottom signifies that the consultation was either completed or discharged in the past 48 hours.
