Closing a Patient Record You can close a patient record in different ways. You can either close the record and exit CPRS completely or select a new patient record, which automatically closes the record you are in. To close the patient record and exit CPRS, use one of the following: ·     Select File | Exit. ·     Click the close box (x) in the upper right corner of the CPRS window. Note:      If you have just entered unsigned orders or notes, a screen will pop up asking you to sign the orders. To simultaneously close the current patient record and select a new patient, see Opening a Patient Record. If you follow those steps, you will close the current patient record when you open a new patient. Related Topics Opening a Patient Record
