PERMISSIONS: You need the Docs permission to delete a document.
If a document was created accidentally, you can delete the document from Fusion.
Before You Begin
- Deleting a document permanently removes everything about it from Fusion, including its revision history.
- If a claim has been created for a daily note, you'll need to delete the claim before that daily note can be deleted.
- If an appointment is linked to the document and is checked in, deleting the document will only clear the document's draft. To remove a Not Started document, you'll still need to change the appointment's status or type or delete the appointment. Check out the Why won't my document delete? article for more information.
Delete a Document as the Primary Therapist
You can only delete a document as the primary therapist if the document hasn't been signed. Otherwise, you'll need to revise it first.
- Open the document.
- In the lower left, click the Delete button.
- Type in the confirmation message and click the Delete button.
Delete a Document as an Admin
You can only delete a document as an admin if the document's primary therapist didn't sign it and they're no longer active in the clinic.
- Go to Admin → Basic Setup → Users.
- Click the Inactive tab.
- To the right of the user, click the View Documents icon.
- To the right of the document, click the Delete Document icon.
- Type in the confirmation message and click the Delete button.
