Linking estimates to visits

 Estimates are a pretty important part of modern veterinary practice. Currently to get to the estimates from anywhere requires quite a bit of navigation to and fro. 

From my point of view the most common place I want to access estimates is when I am consulting and adding notes. 

I guess there's 2 ideas I am thinking of:

  1. Adding a button to the bottom of the visit editor which links to the estimates- It would make it quick to get to the estimates, but then you would have to navigate back to the visit.
  2. Link the estimate to the patients history and have the ability to add it as you do a note, investigation, weight, etc during the visit. I guess that in the history it would display as a hyperlink to the estimate in the estimates workspace.

What do others think of these ideas?

Re: Linking estimates to visits

I think this is a very good suggestion Matt. I don't think Tony will mind me mentioning that one of the areas we are going to be looking at in 1.6 is Medical Records. Even with the new Visit Editor, there is a feeling that there are improvements to be made in respect to how it relates with Invoicing. Estimations could certainly be included in this.

We will wait to clean up the 1.5 release and then I am sure Tony will launch discussion re this important change.
