Voiding a Prescription

Once a prescription has been printed, it cannot be deleted from the patient's record. You can void it if you have the appropriate security level permission. Once a prescription is voided, it is still displayed in the Rx list, but it will not be included in reports unless the option to include voided prescriptions has been selected in the Patient Prescription report.

To void a prescription, select it and click . The Create Patient Rx Note window is displayed for you to enter a reason for the void. When you click Ok, the note is saved with the voided prescription, which is grayed out. Saved notes cannot be edited, but you can double-click the note to view it, and click {A} to append, or add information to the note.
