Configure Visit Types

This article explains how to configure visit types for your practice.

The visit type refers to the location that the visit occurred at, or if the visit was not in person, the method it was delivered through, for example, Hospital or Telehealth.

You can configure a usual visit type for a patient via the patient demographic, and for a practitioner via preferences. You can also select a visit type from Today's notes in the patient record.

Items can be removed or added back into the visit types list by the practice as required.
