Held

When a medication is not actually taken by a patient, it is considered to be “Held” and marked as such (with an “H”) in the Status column of the VDL. Reasons might include the patient being temporarily off the ward. You can select and mark multiple medications as Held on the VDL using the Right Click drop-down menu. In the case of IV bags, this status indicates that the dose was Held. The only actions available for this type of IV bag are to mark the bag as Infusing or Refused, or to submit a Missing Dose Request to the Pharmacy.
