This article explains the difference between canceling and stopping a medication. It also explains the workflows for both.
Stopping a medication: This action removes the drug from a patient’s Active Medications and no notifications that it was stopped will be sent to the pharmacy.
Canceling a prescription: This action sends a notification to the pharmacy to cancel a prescription. Once you have requested to cancel the medication, it will be removed from a patient’s Active Medications.
Start on a Patient's Profile screen and navigate to the Active Medications section, then follow the steps outlined below:
