Within an encounter, the awareness of how much time remains available 
(and the decision whether to run over, or to reschedule) would relate 
to a combination of

i) how much time was pre-assigned
ii) appointment scheduled start time / actual start time / current time
iii) competing / next appointment time (or more realistically, how 
many patients, or how much total time, is one "behind") versus

iv) how far one is done dealing with the patient's request list, and 
the status of recall/review items or other to-dos one had assigned 
oneself for that patient

Maybe how best to present i). ii). iii) will be clearer as the GUI 
takes further shape i.. as we figure out a few other things that 
could have impacts.
