How do I create a note in the patient file?

  4. If necessary, adjust the time.

When ticked, the attention note will appear in the tab Uninvoiced. In other words, just before an invoice is created. This allows you to draw your colleagues’ attention, for example, to extra products that the client should receive or extra advice that still needs to be given.

As soon as an employee opens the Uninvoiced tab, this text appears in red at the top of the screen, under “Preview Invoice”. The name of the patient in question appears before the note. The note is not printed on the invoice.

The note remains visible on the Uninvoiced tab all day on the day the note was created.
