To add a medical consultation note
With a patient selected in Family File, on the File menu, click Medical Consultation.
If applicable, do one of the following:
If the Password - Medical Consultation dialog box appears, user verification has been assigned to the "Medical Consultation" task. Do one of the following:
If your user account has been granted the "Medical Consultation" security right, enter your credentials in the User ID and Password boxes, and then click OK.
If your user account has not been granted the "Medical Consultation" security right, have a user with permission temporarily override this restriction so you can access a patient's medical consultation notes this one time. The overriding user enters his or her credentials in the User ID and Password boxes and then clicks OK.
If a message appears, informing you that you do not have rights to this operation, your user account has not been granted the "Medical Consultation" security right. To have a user with permission temporarily override this restriction so you can access a patient's medical consultation notes this one time, do the following:
On the message, click Yes.
In the Password - Medical Consultation dialog box, the overriding user enters his or her credentials in the User ID and Password boxes and then clicks OK.
The Medical Consultation dialog box appears.
To add a note, click New.

Requested Date - The date that the medical consultation was requested. By default, the current date is entered, but you can change the date. In the box, enter the correct requested date (in a mm/dd/yyyy format).
Notes:
The patient can have only one note per requested date. If you change the Requested Date of the note to a date that already has a note, the note you are adding will be deleted when you click OK to save it.
