Patient Data Pull Down Menu Forms Explained
Each of the navigational menus contains pull-down options that display a form on the right side of the screen to either review existing data or enter new data. Each of the menu selections filters the DVV list to display items related to your selection. Selecting an item from the DVV list will display its details on the form on the right side of the screen. You may edit existing records, add new records, lock records from editing, and delete records. Pictured below are the expanded Patient Data pull-down menus.
