 During patient creation (i.e. Importing) a patient record is created containing a //Course// and a //Patient Model//. During Import the required data for the Course and Patient Model are entered, however, the Course remains incomplete. The Course will still require physician directive information including the breakdown of the treatment //Prescriptions// and (optionally) the specification of //Clinical Goals//. Before creating a //Plan// this information must be entered. Once the Prescription is complete, plans can be created. The following sections provide a walk through for completing the //Course// information.
+Prescriptions are cumulative.

Therefore, the total dose to all targets in the second prescription will have the first prescription's highest dose added.
