1. Double-click the appointment that you want to attach a continuing care type to.
The Appointment Information dialog box appears.

3. Click the Continuing Care search button.
The Patient Pending C. Care dialog box with a list of all continuing care types for that patient appears.

When you select Use Reason to Auto Update CC and then select a procedure attached to a continuing care type that is not set up for the patient, a message appears asking if you want to set up this type for the patient using the default settings. Click Yes to set up the continuing care type automatically.
If the continuing care type you need is already attached to another appointment, a message appears asking if you want to attach the continuing care type to the current appointment. Click Yes to attach it to the current appointment.
