Basic Flow:

A.	INCLUSION: Perform Access Clinical Records use case.

D.	If the Resident has been in the facility before, and if the records are closed, EXTENSION: Perform Unarchive Clinical Records use case.
E.	The actor creates an Internal Clinical Record and copies/enters the External Clinical Record information.
F.	The actor then links the Internal Clinical Record to the closed Clinical Records via the Clinical Records case number from the closed records.
G.	If the Resident has been in the Facility before, and if the records are not closed, remove the Clinical Records from the Records Closure Schedule.
H.	The actor copies/enters incoming External Clinical Record information into the open Internal Clinical Records.
