What is an encounter macro?
Encounter macros can be thought of as "sub-templates" for your RXNT encounter forms. Macros allow your providers and staff to set up pre-filled text and selections in your encounters that are specific to certain patient visits or scenarios. For example, many providers use a single encounter form for patient visits, but fill it out differently depending on the chief complaint of the patient.
