Questionnaire Response

Overview

This flow describes how to retract an allergy that somebody recorded by mistake.

Pre-requisites

• The patient has a saved allergy.
• The patient has an open encounter at the facility, and you retract the allergy from that encounter.
• The encounter is not Completed, Cancelled, Discontinued, or Entered in Error. In these states, all add and edit controls are read-only.
• You have the permissions listed below.

Permissions

Permission	Access
Can submit questionnaire about patient encounters	Lets you submit the allergy screen of the encounter.
Update Encounter related clinical data	Lets you retract an allergy of the encounter.
Can view clinical data about patients	Lets you see the allergies of the patient.

Steps

1. Open the allergy screen

Open the encounter. Go to the Overview tab. Find the Allergies section. Select the edit (pencil) icon.

You can also press the keyboard shortcut a on any encounter screen.

2. Find the allergy

Find the row of the allergy in the table.

3. Mark the allergy as entered in error

Open the more-options (⋮) menu of the row. Select Remove Allergy.

You can also set the Status of the row to Entered in Error.

📝 Note

For a saved allergy, Remove Allergy sets the Status to Entered in Error. For a new row that you did not submit, Remove Allergy deletes the row.

4. Submit

Select Submit.

Expected Outcome

• Care shows the confirmation "Questionnaire submitted successfully".
• Care keeps the allergy, with the Status Entered in Error.
• Care leaves the allergy out of the Allergies section of the encounter.
• Care leaves the allergy out of the allergy history of the patient.
• The more-options (⋮) menu of the row now shows Already marked as error.

📝 Note

Care has no separate delete action for an allergy. Entered in Error is the only way to retract one.
