Description

Module: OPD → Consultation
Environment: Test, NSSH (https://nssh.test.clinq.health/opd/consultation)
Type: Enhancement
Priority: P2 (slows doctors down on quick visits)

Description
Examination and Plan are required fields right now, so a doctor can’t sign a consultation without filling them in. Many visits only need a prescription, such as a medicine refill, a quick review or a repeat prescription. Doctors are forced to type filler text just to complete the visit. Doctors should be able to switch Examination and Plan off for these visits.

Steps to reproduce

Open an OPD consultation.
Add only a prescription, and leave Examination and Plan empty.
Click Sign & complete.

Expected result

Examination and Plan each have an on/off toggle.
When a section is off, it isn’t required, so the doctor can sign without filling it in.
A switched-off section is hidden or collapsed and doesn’t print.
When a section is on, it works as it does today.

Actual result
Signing is blocked until Examination and Plan are filled in.

Acceptance criteria

Examination and Plan each have an on/off toggle in the consultation.
A consultation can be signed with either section, or both, switched off.
Switched-off sections don’t appear in the print or preview.
The audit trail records that the section was switched off, plus who did it and when.
(Optional) There’s an admin setting for the default, on or off, per department or doctor.

Notes

Keep at least one clinical element required, for example a diagnosis or a prescription, so an empty consultation can’t be signed.
Check with the medical team whether any departments need Examination to stay required, for example for ANC or MLC cases.
