I have located already existing

Multiple new episodes

Which seems by default "off". Ideally then no "New" button would be  
available in the Progress notes creator until the user had set this  
"on". The alternative would be for the "New" button to beep when  
clicked while this client had not been set to allow multiple new  
episodes. I am not sure what help or protection was being thought of  
to control whether or not to allow multiple new episodes... maybe  
while training someone in an established GNUmed praxis, where most  
patients could have an established history and not need multiple new  
episodes?
