Creating a new visit

A new visit is created by clicking the new visit button in the main application menu, as shown in the diagram below:

Once clicked, the user will be asked to record a date for the visit. This allows users to record visits in the past, should the user wish to enter previously recorded information for this patient.

Clicking new visit will always present the user with a default visit date which will be the date the new visit button was clicked. In addition, creation of a new visit will immediately take the user to the DAS data entry page.

If a visit is recorded in the past, the record cannot be updated with information unless the user unlocks the record. This feature is in place to prevent the user from inadvertently changing pre-recorded information.
