I am in the process of documenting the workflow.  As shown in the extract below, I think I have understand how things work.  However, there is an Appointment Status = Admitted. This does not seem to sent by the workflow, and if you set it manually, you don't get a Consult or Check-Out button - so what is it for?

Workflow documentation extract

The following table shows the change in status of the appointment (in the schedule), the task (in the work list), and the invoice as things progress from a new appointment to all being completed. The actions are the buttons that are pressed on the various screens. Where the same action is shown for both the Schedule and the Work List, this simply means that the button is shown on both screens and you can use either one.

You can of course manually alter the status, but in general you should not need to do so, the workflow will take care of setting the appropriate status resulting from each action. The one significant exception is placing an invoice on hold - you need to do this manually - but you won't need to do this often.
