Inactivating medication for deceased patients

Following the death of a patient, all repeat therapy items are automatically inactivated when a deduction notification is received and the registration status is changed to transferred out. We all know however, that this message can take a while to come through leaving repeats in an active state. 

We therefore recommend that you manually inactive all repeat medication as part of your death administration process as follows:

1. Select the patient in Consultation Manager.
2. Click on the Therapy tab.
3. Press Select All .
4. Press Inactivate Repeat .
5. From the Inactivation Reason screen, select Other and add death details into the additional text box. 
6. Click OK to save.

Note - To help prevent acute medication being erroneously prescribed, we also recommend you add a yellow reminder to the patient record with details of the patient's death.
