Create Encounters independent of AppointmentsPurpose: - There are few medical cases where user doesnt go for a appointment .He directly encounters with the healthcare provider
- Here user need not follow the traditional way of creating appointments which is not required for them and is also time consuming
Enhanced System: - Directly create encounter type in system
- New menu link to create encounter independent of appointment above Appointment Calendar
- Clicking this will take user to Create encounter type page
- User can choose the employee and click Save or Cancel
- On saving it will take to the encounter type details screen. Cancel will close this page and take to Appointment central page
Section 1 : - List of all encounter types available in the system
- User can choose single or multiple encounter
Section 2 : - User need to select the employment status , personnel type and select the desired employee
Section 3 : Would show following fields .For some default values to be saved and hidden in this screen .User can edit in appointment detail - Date, time – Current date and time

- Visit Type - "Office"
- Department - non mandatory product wide

- Healthcare provider -"Health Care Provider" / only if created through Add Encounter , will show this value .Will not appear in Healthcare provider look up as this will be system generated similar to COVID-19 Encounter type
- No appointment notification to be sent for these encounter type creation
- System need to show alert message on double booking of encounter of HCP and employee (similar logic to be applied)
- Link and the page will be driven by Encounter Permission
