How do I update a clinical note?

Open the patient room's details and its information section. If an edit control is available for the clinical note, make the change and save. A read-only note means your current access does not allow editing; ask an authorized care-team member to help.

How do I delete a patient, and can I undo it?

Use Delete only from the patient’s authorized management controls, after reviewing the confirmation. There is no ordinary undo in the patient list; contact your organization about Console recovery. Deletion can affect room access and pending invitations.
