Expiring a patient's medical alerts

You can expire a patient's medical alert that is no longer applicable. This keeps the medical alert in the patient's record in case you need to access it in the future.

Tip: In rare cases that you need to expire a medical alert that was set as permanent, you can modify the alert to be temporary, and then expire.
