In the Appointments Module, select an appointment. In the toolbar, click Delete.

Alternatively:

• In the Appointments Module, right-click on the appointment. Select Delete.
• In the Chart Module Progress Notes, right-click the appointment. Select Delete.

Appointments should not be deleted without considering how they will be tracked.

• If the appointment was missed or was cancelled without 24 hrs notice, then use Break Appointment.
• After breaking the appointment, consider sending it to the Unscheduled List for followup.
• If the patient really does not want followup, then make sure the appointment is still in the Planned Appointments list so that it will show in the Planned Appointment Tracker.
• A recall appointment is a little different. You can delete a recall appointment because it will continue to show on the Recall List for followup.
• Completed appointments cannot be deleted if procedures are attached and Prevent changes to completed appointment with completed procedures is enabled in Appointments Module Preferences.
