Navigate treatment planning
You can review a lot of information from the treatment planning panel. This article describes how it is grouped and what different icons mean.
If the amount of information becomes overwhelming, there are a few options to simplify what you're looking at.
Unplanned diagnoses on the left, treatment on the right
Diagnoses that haven't been placed in a phase are displayed on the left. Treatment options are displayed in one or more columns to the right.
Treatment options can be grouped into phases to help organize the treatments. Each phase can be collapsed or expanded to help simplify your display.
Diagnoses that have been placed into phases stretch across all treatment options. Procedures are less wide and only appear in one treatment option column.
If a procedure and diagnoses have been linked, the procedure appears inside of the diagnosis. You can associate multiple procedures to the same diagnoses.
