General Encounter Form information

Different Encounter Forms can be created for different Types of exams to be performed.

• An Encounter Form can be divided into different sections called Pages.
• For each Page, the user can assign Encounter Elements to it.
• An Encounter Form must contain at least one Page.
• Blank Pages (those which do not contain any Elements) are automatically removed when the Encounter Form is saved.

Exam Elements and History Elements

All the Encounter Elements in the system are classified as one of three Types, depending on the context in which they are used:

• Exam
• History
• Both

When creating an Encounter Form, the Encounter Elements display in a list that is organized into two sections: Exam and History.

• All Exam Elements (for example, Auto-Refractor, Blood Sugar, Final Diagnoses) display in the Exam section.
• All History Elements (for example, Birth History, Drug Allergies) display in the History section.
• Elements that are common to both types (for example, Chief Complaints) display in both sections.
