The Encounter Overlay enables Providers to view the details of encounters superimposed upon the Timeline. It can be toggled on and off and displays the time and date of the Encounter, as well as Lab Results and Vitals. 

The advantage of the overlay is that it allows a Provider to have an integrated view of the specifics pertaining to when a condition was diagnosed, when medications were prescribed and other interventions of relevance, such as surgeries, dental work and implantation of medical devices.
