# How to enter Past Dated (External) visits

You may have the need to record a Patient’s past dated visit or an external visit, for reference and Clinicea allow you to do so.

_Ex: One of your patients was treated by an External Doctor while he was traveling. He has come back to you for the remaining treatment. He has also brought the notes which were recorded by the External Doctor with him along with the Prescription. You now want to attach the prescription and notes to his Patient Chart.

**1.** Select a Patient and open up the **Patient Medical Chart |** click on **Case Sheets** on the top | now select a Case Sheet and click on **Apply Case Sheet** _Ex: All Case_ **|** click on the
