Adding and editing consultant episodes
You can add, edit, and delete consultant episodes from Patient Detail > Patient admin > Show pathways > Inpatient. You can do this during or after the patient's visit.
When a patient is admitted, they are under the care of a specific consultant. During a patient's visit, the patient might be transferred between consultants. The time period under each consultant is called a consultant episode. A patient's visit can contain one or more consultant episodes.
When a consultant episode is complete, clinical coders can complete coding for the consultant episode. Clinical coders can view consultant episodes that need coding from Back office > Clinical Coding.
