Reconciling, pausing, and stopping arrival medications

You can create a hospital prescription from an arrival medication, reconcile an arrival medication with a hospital prescription, pause an arrival medication during the patient's stay, or stop an arrival medication.

When you stop an arrival medication, on discharge the patient's GP receives a letter saying the medication was stopped. Depending on the advice from the hospital, the patient's GP might start a new prescription.

When you pause an arrival medication the patient's original prescription continues to be valid. But the hospital might advise the patient and the patient's GP to stop the prescription.

When you reconcile an arrival medication with a hospital prescription, the patient's GP receives a letter with details of hospital care and the patient's original prescription continues to be valid.

You can't stop a paused arrival medication.
