Include Non-Members of a Patient Group to Previous Group Encounters

Before you begin To access this feature, you must have the permission to add patient encounters. If a non-member of a patient group is a participant of a group encounter that has already been checked-in, you can add the participant member to the group encounter. For example, assume that a session on Anger Management (a group encounter) was attended by members of the Anger Management patient group. John Doe is a member of the Behavioural Health patient group, but a non-member of the Anger Management group. Out of interest, he has participated in the Anger Management session. In such a scenario, you can record John's participation by adding him only to the group encounter without adding him to the Anger Management patient group. Open the appointment book. Select Patient Group on the toolbar. The Patient Group Search window opens. Search for and open the patient group. The Patient Group window opens. On the Members tab, select open menu and then select Add Member. The People Lookup window
