Regarding your other question, the location for a visit comes from the HOSPITAL LOCATION file. I am in an outpatient setting, and wish that name was less 'hospital' orientated... but I think VistA was first and formost designed for a hospital.
I created a hospital location entry for each of the offices that are in our group. Your second question was about options for progress note titles. You should have many note titles already in your system. Try typing in "progress" in and see what it comes up with. In VistA, there are document heirarchies. So you can have a OFFICE NOTES class, and put all the different types of notes you might want to write from the office (i.e. no show note, prescription call in, phone note etc.). You can set up all these different types of notes. There is a menu option for defining and editing these. Let me know if you want the option name, I'll look it up for you. Lastly, there are seemingly endless configuration that can be done with VistA. There is a learning curve when starting, that I am still very much on. Plan on at least several months to start feeling comfortable. The more you know, the more the system starts to hang together and make more sense.
