The CCR Patient Review page is designed for use during a clinic visit, giving easy-to-find access to the kind of information a medical provider might need during a clinic visit but also providing for easy data entry into CCR of information that might typically be gathered during a clinic visit. The idea is that this will both improve the quality and efficiency of clinic visits while helping to facilitate the timely entry of relevant information into CCR to better support both clinical and research uses of the database. Among data which could be entered in this fashion are treatment protocols assigned to a patient, diagnoses and staging results. For instructions on how to delete a staging record from the regular CCR patient detail window, see Deleting a Stage/Status Record.

To delete a diagnosis from the CCR Patient Review page:

1. Open the Diagnosis window associated with the staging record you want to delete — see Editing a Patient's Diagnosis From the CCR Patient Review Page for instructions on how to do this.

2. Click on the description of the staging record you wish to delete in the Stages area of the page. The Stage window will open.

3. Click on the Delete button in the lower left corner of the window. Both the Stage and Diagnosis windows will close and the diagnosis will be removed from the patient record.

Be careful with this button. Currently, no dialog appears to confirm that you really want to delete the staging record before the record is actually deleted.
