Conditions for Changing Information in Locked Encounters

When an encounter is locked, you can change some information only under certain conditions:

• You can add or modify notes because they are linked to the device record instead of the encounter.
• You can modify the date device was placed.
• You can activate and deactivate devices.
• You cannot modify the date the device was removed. To change the date, you would have to first deactivate the device.
• You can link and unlink a procedure only when the original encounter was selected.

If Enterprise Chart is turned on and you open a device record that originated in another practice:

• You can add or modify notes.
• You can modify the date device was placed.
• You can activate and deactivate devices.
• You cannot modify the date the device was removed. To change the date, you would have to first deactivate the device.
• You cannot link or unlink a procedure.
