# Marking Allergies as Entered in Error

CPRS offers two methods for marking allergies as entered in error from the Cover Sh eet tab. To mark an allergy as entered in error, the user must have the parameter OR ALLERGY ENTERED IN ERROR appropriately set.

Method One

Take the following steps to use the first method:

1. In the Allergies/Adverse Reactions pane, place your mouse pointer over an erroneously entered causative agent and right-click to display a menu.

2. From this menu, select Mark selected allergy as entered in error .

CPRS displays the Mark Allergy/Adverse Reaction Entered In Error dialog.

3. If your site has enabled the Comments feature, you may (optionally) type comments in the Comments (optional) dialog.

Note: If your site has not enabled the Comments feature, CPRS disables the dialog, which in this case is named Comments (disabled) .

4. Select OK .

CPRS displays an Are you sure? dialog .

5. If you are sure the causative agent was entered in error, select Yes. CPRS removes the causative agent from the Allergies/Adverse Reactions pane and from the list of allergies it displays when you click Allergies in the Postings pane.
