Remove an Individual Guideline Item for a Patient

You can remove an individual care guideline for a patient using the Remove/Restore Guidelines panel.

You can remove an individual guideline item not followed for the patient. For example, a diabetic foot exam is not performed on a patient who is a bilateral foot amputee, therefore, this guideline item can be removed.

To remove guideline items individually for a patient, do the following:

  1. Open NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
  2. Select the Care Guidelines link on any of the main template.
    The Care Guidelines template opens.
  3. Select Add/Update in the Care Guidelines panel.
    The Activate Care Guidelines template opens.
  4. Expand the Remove/Restore Guidelines panel.
  5. Select the item in the grid in the Active Guidelines panel.
    The item appears on the right side of the Remove/Restore Guidelines panel in black text.
  6. Select Remove.
    The item is removed from the Active Guidelines grid and for this patient. No changes are made to the guideline at the application level setup, and no other patients are affected.

  7. Select Save & Close.
