Discontinue a Medication in the Face Sheet

Use the following steps to discontinue a medication for a patient in their face sheet.

1. Open the patient's chart.
    

2. In the Medications List in the Face Sheet, click the next to the Medication you want to discontinue, and then select Discontinue Prescription.
   
   
   
    

3. In the End Medication dialog, select a Reason why the medication was discontinued for the patient.
    

4. In the End Date field, modify the Date and Time as needed. These values default to the system date and time.
    

5. In the Comments field, enter a free-text Comment, as needed.
    

6. When finished, click the OK button.
   
   
   
    

7. The system will then automatically generate a drug log with the discontinuation and reason for the discontinuation (if configured), as well as also updating the patient's History tab with this information. If you are not a provider, a dialog will prompt you to select a Provider. Once the provider is selected, click the OK button and the note will appear.
