It pulls from the last visit. However, if you mess up and left those fields empty the last visit, you can choose an earlier visit to start with from the pulldown list at the top, over the chief complaint. Then do New note (save PFSH) and the note will revert.
Actually, my partner is considering doing just that when we get to the second comprehensive exam for a patient in AC next year. I'm not certain I totally get her thinking, but I believe that the way she uses the past Hx it may allow her to revert to the old "original" version and bring it up to date without filling it with interim problems.
And yes, Jon, it would be nice to be able to rename the fields.
