By bradymiller:

Most work flows will input the vitals tight after they are taken, so I am guessing the auto-timestamping was not much of an issue, considering it has been like that since the end as 2010 (as I remember). By changing it to the encounter date, you are now making the date/time inconsistent with the widget and the graphing module. Will leave this up to you, but if add this then should consider also doing it to other parts of the code that use the vitals.
