How to: Delete an e-Prescription
In this article
You can delete e-prescriptions from the e-prescription database from inside the Prescription Order.
When an e-prescription has been deleted, the status of the Prescription Order Line changes to e-Prescription Deleted. The e-prescription must be in the Prescription Order for you to be able to delete it.
Note: Once an e-prescription has been deleted, it cannot be used again.
To delete an e-prescription
- Open the Prescription Order that has the Prescription Order Line that you are going to delete.
- Select the Prescription Order Line that is going to be deleted.
- Click the Delete e-Prescription action, and confirm.
- Click the Finish Order action to finish the order.
Now the Prescription Order Line has status e-Prescription Deleted and is deleted from the e-prescription database. After you click Finish, the Prescription Order is automatically moved to Final Control.
It is possible to un-delete a prescription that has been deleted. This is also done from inside the Prescription Order. This is normally done right after the e-prescription has been deleted, for example if it was deleted by mistake.
Note: You cannot un-delete if you already clicked Finish Order, and the Prescription Order has moved to Posted Prescriptions Order.
To undelete an e-prescription
- Go to the Approved Prescription Orders tile in the Role Center, and open the Prescription Order that has the e-prescription that you wish to un-delete.
- Click the Un-Delete action.
The e-prescription has now been restored. It can either be delivered or sent back to the e-prescription database.
