  6. The Status field enables the clinic staff to communicate the status of an existing contact. For instance, a nurse may screen the patient for vital signs and measurements, then give a status of "Person Screened" to let the doctor know that the screening is complete. The doctor can then conduct the patient visit and enter the remaining information. If there are any lab tests or immunizations to be completed, the doctor can change the status to "Orders" to let the nurse know that there are orders to be done. Once a contact is signed and completed, the status can be changed to complete.
