  • StatusSeeing now, Not seen yet, or Discharged. An empty cell reads as Seeing now.
  • Start of careNeeded for a patient you admitted and are seeing now. A patient not seen yet can wait for a date.
  • FrequencyNeeded for each patient you are seeing now. Write visits a week, then weeks, such as 2w4. Put a comma between parts, such as 2w2, 1w6.
