Hello All
Has any one thought of mapping appointments with encounter in OpenEMR? So that, when clicking on the completed appointment, it takes directly to its related encounter.
Will this feature be useful to the physicians?
Thanks

Hi Visolve,
A mechanism was added to do this by Terry in the “Flow Board” feature. Note that when a patient checks in, if a encounter is automatically created, it will then map the appt to the encounter, and if then click on the patient on the flow board, then will open up the mapped encounter. If want do this from the calendar appointment gui, then should be able to leverage the mechanism already created to support this.

Hello Brady
Yes in the Flow Board, we could see where the patient traverse in the clinic and thier encounter. But as you said, this functionality could be leveraged to the calendar appointments, since it would be much easier to see the related encounter by clicking the appointments itself instead of searching the same in flow board.
Thanks

Hi Visolve,
Agree this would be a good addition. Now it just opens the demographics when click on name on appt. Recommend using the mechanism that was added for the patient board (see the commit) that will also open up the encounter screen if it exists. Can search for the encounter mapping in the patient board database table (check out the commit to see where it is stored).
