How do I make an in-between encounter?
If you want to place orders or communicate with a patient and you want it separate from other patient encounters, you can make an "in-between" encounter through the messaging portal.
1.) Go to message center
2.) Go to the inbox tab, and hit "create a message"
3.) Find the patient you want to message
4.) When you find the patient and a list of their pre-existing encounters shows up, STOP. Do not click an existing encounter. Instead, just hit "ok", and you will make a new in-between encounter.
