The OPD day-book of consultations, with patient, department, doctor, chief complaint, signed or open status and who entered it.

Common questions

How do I find consultations nobody signed? Set Status to Open. The Unsigned Encounter Aging report in OPD Reports also groups them by age.

Where are the diagnoses? This register shows the complaint only. For diagnoses, run the Diagnosis / Morbidity Register in OPD Reports.

One patient has two rows on a day. They saw two doctors or two departments, so there are two consultations.
