Short-term and Long-term Goals

In the Goals panel in the NTS Practice Config template, you can set the maximum number of weeks for short-term goals. Long-term goals are goals with a duration longer than this setting. The default number of weeks is 4. The setting does not affect previously documented encounters; resolved goals do not update. A change to the settings affects only active goals on encounters opened after the change.

In Short-term goals max # weeks, enter the maximum number of weeks for short-term goals.
