This tab allows the user to view or print the veteran’s progress notes (Figure 2-104). The left side of the screen shows the appointment date, type of progress note, and the author of the note. If the user places the mouse pointer over a progress note, the full title is displayed. When a note is selected, it will appear in the window on the right.

Figure 2-104 shows the selected domiciliary progress note, and the title of the orthopedic consultation note is shown because the mouse pointer was placed over it. The right side of the screen shows the contents of the selected progress note. The windows can be expanded or minimized to enhance viewing. Contents may be viewed, printed, or copied and pasted into a Windows-compatible document such as Microsoft Word, or as part of a rating decision.
