How to delete a patient encounter?

Note: Once an encounter has been signed off or any transaction has taken place, it cannot be deleted due to audit and compliance requirements.

However, if no action has been taken—such as in cases where a patient scheduled and then cancelled the encounter—you can delete it. Encounters can be deleted either from the patient profile or from within the encounter itself.

From Patient Profile

Step 1: Go to the Patient tab> select the patients

Open

Step 2: Go to the Consults> Select the encounter which you want to delete> Click on Delete Selected Encounters

Step 3: Click on OK to delete the encounter.
