Which tool moves your patients through time to make encounters appear over the course of time?

• A. Chronicles
• B. Records
• C. Manual Duplication
• D. Items

Answer: (C)

When you want a patient’s history to unfold over time in a training scenario, you need a way to create new encounter entries at different dates. Manual duplication is the mechanism that does this: you copy an existing encounter and assign it a new date, effectively moving the patient through time so multiple encounters appear across weeks or months. This lets you build a believable progression of care, symptoms, or tests.

Chronicles is just a chronological record of events, not a method to create or shift timepoints. Records refers to the files that hold patient data, not the action of adjusting when things happen. Items are individual data elements within records, again not the tool for sequencing encounters in time.
