Deleting allergies and intolerances (new prescriber)

Note: This information applies to the new prescriber (see New prescriber).

If you record an allergy or intolerance in error (for example, if you enter an allergy in the wrong patient’s chart), you can permanently delete the allergy or intolerance from the Active Allergies or Inactive Allergies list. Deleted allergies and intolerances are not added to the patient’s Inactive Allergies list.

Steps

1.

Open the Medications and Allergies window: On any window related to the patient (including a SOAP note or the medical summary), right-click and choose View Medication List.

2.

In the Active Allergies list or the Inactive Allergies list, click the allergy or intolerance you want to delete and then, at the top of the window, click Delete .

3.

When prompted, click Yes.
