Consultation Mode
Consultation mode (CM) is the screen that you should always work from when there is a need to record contact with a patient i.e when you are consulting in surgery, but also if you need to record a telephone call, or a home visit to a patient. When you use CM it will record the date of consultation, name of the doctor consulting, and the place where the consultation occurred.
