Manage the Reason for Visit Submenu
You can update or delete the items in the Reason for Visit sub-menu. You must enter a sub-menu value before or after the Reason for Visit.
In runtime, sub-menus allows you to make another selection to further refine your initial selection. A second selection, in some cases, even a third selection appears. This allows the practice to have a shorter list of reasons for visit. For example, instead of having two reasons that include initial or follow-up, you can add sub-menus initial and follow-up to a reason for visit to indicate whether the visit is initial or follow-up.
