Deleting a prescription

🎞️ View video tutorial: Deleting and cancelling prescriptions

If you create a prescription in error (for example, in the wrong patient’s record), or you add a prescription during an encounter and then decide it is not needed, you can delete the prescription as long as it hasn't been signed. (If the prescription has already been signed, see Cancelling signed prescriptions.)

You can delete the prescription from the Prescriptions area of an encounter, from the prescription dialog, or from a patient's list of Prescriptions.

1. From an encounter or the prescription dialog, click the trash can icon:

📌 Note: If there is more than one medication on the prescription, they are all deleted. If you want to delete a single medication, select the prescription to open the prescription dialog and delete the medication from there.

2. In the list of a patient's prescriptions (Start/Open > Prescriptions), click the menu icon (3 dots) > Delete Rx.

📌 Note: If there is more than one medication on the prescription, they are all deleted. If you want to delete a single medication, select the prescription to open the prescription dialog and delete the medication from there.

3. Click Okay to confirm you want to delete the prescription.
