Patient Prescription
Submitted by Guest on Tue, 01/03/2016 - 16:43
Hi
Can anyone help me with the process for deleting a Patient Prescription. V1.8 I cant edit or delete the prescription created for a patient in Medical Records.
Thanks
Re: Patient Prescription
If the presecription is created (and nothing dispensed) then you can delete it.
However, once you have dispensed 1 or more times, you cannot delete it. However, you can cancel it. Cancelling sets the expiry date prior to the creation date and acts to prevent any more dispensing or editing or the prescription.
I have just checked the CSH text at http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.8/patient/record#prescriptions and this says most of the above (except explaining that setting expiry < start date is the cancellation mechanism).
