Cancelled or struck out results

Sometimes results are cancelled by the department that performed the investigation. For example, the department that tested the blood sample cancels a result. Cancelled results appear as struck out results in Nervecentre. You can view and acknowledge struck out results.

Some third-party systems can't provide Nervecentre cancellation updates. Depending on your permissions, you can manually cancel or strike out a result on a desktop.

Struck out results can still be signed off as reviewed.

If the results were signed off before they were struck out, that sign-off is removed because the data has changed.
