Add a Task to an Existing In-Progress Encounter
When you run the Add New Task trigger to add a NextGen® Enterprise PM task, you can link the task to an existing In-Progress encounter. An In-Progress encounter captures charges and transactions for work or care that has not been completed or delivered. This feature enables you to: Avoid generating new encounters when an appropriate In-Progress encounter exists for a new NextGen® Enterprise PM task that you are generating in a NextGen® Enterprise EHR template. Ensure that all NextGen® Enterprise PM tasks related to a given In-Progress encounter are identified correctly so your business operations are not adversely impacted. CAUTION: If an In-Progress encounter ID is not available for return to the trigger, use alternate means to ensure that tasking can be completed. In NextGen® Enterprise EHR, open the patient's chart. Open the applicable template. Run the Add New Task trigger. If a valid In-Progress encounter ID is returned, the system adds the new NextGen® Enterprise PM task and link
