When you click Close Chart, or click the X in the upper right corner, the module does not close completely. Instead, it is minimized automatically and the patient’s chart data is closed and saved to be accessed for checkout.
When you access another patient’s chart from an appointment or elsewhere in the office module, that patient’s chart data is loaded, and the module is maximized automatically.
If you attempt to access a second patient’s chart while the charting module is still loaded with another patient’s data, a message is displayed with three choices. You can do one of the following:
Return to the chart for the patient that is still loaded. Selecting this option displays the open chart.
Unload and save the chart data for the open patient and load the new patient’s data. Selecting this option starts the process of unloading one data set and loading the new one. If there is unsaved work, you are prompted to save it before continuing.
Return to the office module. Selecting this option cancels the request.
