Delete Medications
Delete a medication only if it was prescribed in error. Instead, if you no longer want a patient to take a prescribed medication, stop that medication.
Tip: You cannot delete a medication that is included in the current
medication request.
To delete a medication:
- On the Detail tab of a patient's clinical record, right-click the medication you want to delete and select Delete Medication (prescribed in error).
- Record the reason the medication is being deleted, for example, Prescribed in error. Enter at least five characters. The delete reason is not required for medication history recorded in error.
- Click OK.
The record for the deleted medication is not erased from the database, but is marked as being deleted together with the reason.
Tip: To see deleted medications, on the Detail tab of a
patient's clinical record, in the item list, right-click and select Show
Deleted Items. Deleted medications are prefixed with
<Deleted>.
