Thanks...now as far as I understand, you have to admit the patient as "Inpatient" to assign to a ward - correct? If that's the case, how do you handle notes for an "Outpatient" patient who can't get assigned to a ward? I did the Inpatient way and could add notes through the ward, but now I'm lost about the Outpatient route.
