What is the path to undo an ED discharge?

• A. Epic button > patient care > Undo ED discharge/dismiss
• B. File > Edit > Undo ED discharge
• C. Chart > Disposition > Undo
• D. Tools > Undo ED discharge

Answer: (A)

Undoing an Emergency Department discharge is a specialized action in Epic that reverses the discharge decision so the patient can be readmitted or re-evaluated as needed. The correct path uses the exact workflow for this reversal: click the Epic button, open Patient Care, then choose Undo ED discharge/dismiss. This route is designed for reversing the ED disposition and updating the chart accordingly, preserving accurate disposition history and documentation. Other menu paths don’t provide this specific function and are not the supported way to reverse an ED discharge. Using general editing paths or unrelated options can lead to incomplete reversals or missing disposition updates. If you’re performing this, ensure you have the appropriate permissions and document the reason for undoing the discharge so the chart stays clear and compliant.
