You may need to exclude an administration record when a dose was logged incorrectly or does not accurately reflect what happened during patient care. This can include logging the wrong medication, selecting the wrong status, or entering the record for the wrong patient. Instead of deleting the entry, excluding it preserves the full history while marking the record as no longer valid.

  • Access the administration chart either from the patient’s profile or from the prescription tabs within an active admission or visit.

You can exclude the administration record from whichever tab you prefer, as the exclusion process remains the same. The administration chart subtab displays medication records for the current day, whereas the View Full Medications Chart option lets you see administrations across multiple dates.
