could there be say a tab feature UNDER the encounter view
you mean, where it says "Most Recent Related Notes"?

Yes, under this field we could have tabs for the other (not just last) note.

Example: friday patient comes in and reports "bad hearing" (this will be my
RFE) and is diagnosed with Otitis, given an Antibiotic and sent home to call
us Monday to see if he is better (Sumarry:"Otitis , given Azitrimicin
500mg/d for 5 days, should call Monday to state status")
- Monday patient calls and says "Im better" (RFE) and I explain to him he
should continue with the prescribed course of 5 days (Summary: "Patient is
better, maintained ATB course")
- Monday night he calls you and says he is worried because the ATB will end
soon and his mother is saying 5 days is too few on a course of Azitromicin
(she has chronic Otites). I reassure patient and maintain the ATB course.
- Tuesday he calls again and asks if it is ok to stop, since his mother said
she took 5 days and then had to take another Antibiotic for the same
condition (RFE "doubts of treatment" Summary "Explained to patient about
Otitis and reinforced to stop ATB"

10 days afterwards he comes to a new visit and tells you that his hearing is
great, but sometimes he itches a bit in the other ear. So when you lift a
notelet you can only see the last entry (on Tuesday) and miss at-a-glance
all the pressure he is under with his mom ;)

This is the seting that could make tabs easier to manage (of course not
uncomplicated Otitis but say a Warfarin dosing change or Recurrent Chest
Pain)
