Alteration of Completion Dates - Backdating Treatment

When entering a patient’s treatment it may sometimes be necessary to alter the date on which the treatment was completed. When treatment in the current Course of Treatment is ticked as complete, the date changes from the date the service was planned, to ‘Today’s’ date. For whatever reason - such as neglecting to tick the treatment on the day - this might not be correct.

To back-date the Treatment Completion date:

1. Ensure that the treatment line has been ticked as completed.
2. Double-click on the date, which will bring up the ‘Edit Chart Item’ screen.

   

3. Click in the ‘Completion Date’ field and type in the required completion date; alternatively you could use the button to select the required date. From this screen you can also see the date the treatment was planned.
4. Press or click the button to accept the change.
