Every encounter in Amazing Charts is stamped with a date and time. If you need to correct that date — for example, if a note was opened on the wrong day — you can change it right from the patient's chart without creating a new encounter.
This guide walks through updating the encounter date from start to finish.

Step by step
Open the patient's chart
Open the patient's chart to the most recent encounter, or to the specific encounter whose date you need to change.
Click the clock icon next to the date
At the top of the encounter, click the small clock icon next to the current date and time.
Select the correct date and time
In the Set Encounter Date & Time window, use the field to set the correct date and time for this encounter.
Click Save Changes
Click Save Changes to apply the new date and time to this encounter.
Finish the encounter
Enter your encounter notes as usual, then sign off on the chart to complete the visit.
What happens next
Once you click Save Changes, the encounter is updated with the new date and time everywhere it appears in the chart, including the Summary Sheet and any reports that reference this visit.
