Sometimes you may need to update the end date of an order manually. For example, you might have a PRN order that you haven’t repeated because there’s enough stock for the next cycle. When a team member changes the end date manually, the end date and time will appear in a yellow box. This highlights that a manual change has been made.
To manually override an order's end date, follow these steps:
⚠️ Important: If you make a manual change to the end date, any future data sent by your pharmacy won't automatically update this field.
Click Residents/Orders.
Click on the resident whose order you want to update.
Click Orders, then click on the medication order you need to change.
In the End Date field, enter a new date manually.
Click Save.
The end date and time appear in a yellow box, showing that a manual change was made.
