Home Forums Discussions Problems Removing NKDA

How can I remove the "No Known Drug Alleries" button from Allergies? I can remove other medications listed, but not NKDA.

If it is a NKDA which was free texted (italicized) then you just highlight it and hit remove, otherwise look above and uncheck the NKDA box and this should do it.

Which version are you using?

This is the work-around.

Allegedly, the problem has been fixed in 5.1.

Ver 5.0.29

If I enter KNDA with the button, it goes to the allergy field on the right, with other allergies. I can't REMOVE it like other meds.

John has the workaround, but I don't need to use that even in 5.28.

I run 5.0.29 on Windows XP 64 bit. Could it be related to 64 bit?

I am using 5.029 with 64 bit Win 7, and I still can't remove the occasional NKDA, unless I do the work around above.

I tried the workaround but I got this error: ! The data you are trying to submit is invalid and cannot be sent electronically. Please correct the errors below and try again:
0 The element 'Patient' in namespace 'http://secure.newcropaccounts.com/interfacev7' has invalid child element 'patient diagnosis" in namespace 'http://secure.newcropaccounts.com/interfaceV7'. List of possible elements expected: 'PatientDiagnosisSearch, PatientIdentifier, PatientFreeformHealthPlans,EpisodeIdentifier ..etc... in namespace 'http://secure.newcropaccounts.com/interfaveV7'

also I can't use eprescribing with this patient and several others with the same glitch. Any ideas?

Greg,

I wish I could be of more help. It's difficult, because I can't seem to reproduce all the errors. But, I think you can choose one patient (a fake patient would be best) and try to send a medication possibly calling one and let them know what you are doing. Or just use that patient and prescribe something simple like amoxicillin, then delete after. You have to have a patient to work with.

Now, all of these errors are coming from that particular patient and how his or her chart is set up. For instance, if you have FM instead of FL, it won't go. The problem is it may give you a descriptive error message or it may not. But, in that case, fix the state abbreviation. A weird one is too many diagnoses listed in the summary sheet. Jon is increasing that to 100 but now it is 30 to 50. Things not filled in correctly in the demographics will cause errors. Sometimes not having your unique information correct causes issues such as DEA or NPI so it sounds like that is part of the problem. Having anything but a whole number in the dispensed field (in earlier versions) will not let it go through.

These errors also affect the New Crop entry. In the beginning all of our scripts had 30 grams for Hydrocortisone. So when we tried to get to New Crop, we would get an error. So, mainly to fix things, we had to go through and delete all of te qualifiers.

So, while your error messages are different, I would go to a problem chart and go field by field until you get a perfect chart. In the beginning, it seems daunting, but if you get a few errorless charts, you will begin to recognize the errors when they pop up. The good thing is you get an error when you try to send oxycodone, Lunesta or Concerta over ePrescribe.

This issue is resolved in anything above 5.029
