   Create Encounters independent of Appointments

   Purpose: 

   • 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 Reason - "Medical"
   • Visit Type - "Office" 
   • Department - non mandatory product wide
   • Healthcare entity - "TBD"
   • 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 

   • Existing Data: NA
   • Impacts: 
     • Appointment Central - To show the appointments with default saved values .User can edit those values if required 
     • Appointment list - To show the appointments with default saved values .User can edit those values if required 
     • Employee Medical Profile - To show the appointments with default saved values .User can edit those values if required
