Procedure Times Section

This section appears in the encounter for appointment types that are mapped to the "Structured Procedure Visit" or the "Exam-Only Structured Procedure Visit" encounter layout. You can use the Assign Appointment Types to Layouts page to map appointment types to encounter layouts.

Your organization must have the Structured Procedure Documentation feature enabled.

1. In an open encounter, scroll to the Procedure Times section in the Intake or Exam stage.
   
   Note: The Procedure Times section is available in the Intake checklist and in the Review, Intra, and Post sections of the exam.
2. Update the relevant fields in the Staff and Procedure sections.
