Laser Treatment Types and Spots

Table of contents

In order to clinically document a laser treatment on the Patients | Clinical Information, Laser Treatments tab, the Laser Treatment Types and Spot Sizes must be configured.

The goal of configuring any clinical list is to provide a consistent set of options for the user (either patientNOW user or patient using myPatientNOW). Using this list and removing the ability for the patientNOW user to add to the list will make your clinical data more standardized and will prevent data entry errors (e.g. misspellings).

Warning: patientNOW does not allow you to delete configuration items because they may already be assigned to a patient. However, you may disable them so that they will not appear in patientNOW in order to be selected.
