Voiding prescriptions

You cannot delete a prescription saved in a patient's record, but you can void it.

To void a prescription

1. If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search box to access the patient's record.

   

2. On the Patient menu, under General, select Prescriptions.

   The patient's Patient Prescriptions page opens.

3. Do any of the following:

   • In the Search box, begin typing part of a drug name. The matching prescriptions appear in expandable and collapsible sections by time frame (for example, 0-6 months). Continue typing as needed to narrow the search results.

     

   • Expand the sections to locate a prescription written in the past six months, six months to a year ago, or longer than a year ago.

     

4. Select a prescription.

   

   The selected prescription appears.

   

5. Click (or tap) Void Prescription.

   The Void the Prescription for dialog box appears.

   

6. Select the Reason that you are voiding the prescription, and enter a relevant Note.

7. Click (or tap) Void.
