The Clerk screen. Click any line of a list to open that list's menu.

Two levels: the client, then the Episode

Some lists belong to the client and are filled as soon as you choose the client. The others belong to one Episode of Care: click the Episode in the Episodes list first, and they are filled for that Episode.

Discharged Episode? When the Episode you clicked is discharged, it is locked: Edit Episode and the New / Edit items of Authorizations, Client Status and Contacts are dimmed. View still works. A new admission needs a New Episode.

The client's own record

The client's registration (name, birth date, address, contacts) is not a list on this screen: it is in the Client menu — Client › View, Client › Edit and Client › New. See New Client Registration.
