Actually the labels do show a colon, it is the separation from the text that 
causes the problem.

I misinterpreted "last" for its alternate meaning "final" or "single most 
recent".

The alternate meaning would be to display the value e.g. the date of the most 
recent single encounter, no matter the type.

Another alternate meaning follows the nearest preceding word (admissions) ... I 
had in fact expected that it could be here that the most recent hospital 
admission (where date of discharge is "null") could be displayed but I am 
perhaps misremembering here. I do agree it is helpful to be shown, in the 
contacts and inserted above the contact details, that it may be no use to try 
to phone the patient at home or at work if they are currently admitted to 
hospital.

Coming back now to the overall label name, what about

        Chart and patient activity:

and to the right of it

        (interval filter: [          ])

thus

        Chart and patient activity:     (interval filter: [          ])


because this would make more clear that it is a user input area... it is the 
only such one in the entire plugin.
