The History tab shows you an audit trail of events, being everything that has happened in a patient's record. This is not just dispensing data, but includes interactions, notes if they were in a nursing home, and deleted items.
A date filter can be used to limit the list of events to those within a particular period e.g. last 30 days, last 6 months, last 12 months. A user defined period can be chosen as an alternative to one of the pre-set periods.
A category filter can be used to display only those event of a particular type e.g. Dispensing events only.

You cannot repeat dispense from the History tab, however, you can dispense/collect owing balances.
There may be occasions where an owing item is automatically reclaimed only for you to need to dispense it. For example, it may be a special order item that takes longer than your default period to be delivered. Should this situation arise, you can locate a patient's owing - written off item on their Patient history tab from where you can belatedly collect it. The status will then update to Dispensed item.
You
should not delete EPSR2 items from the patient history. Whilst it is possible
to delete an item from a partially dispensed prescription, this should
be avoided. The result could be a frozen prescription that cannot be completed, for example, a failure to be able to notify and claim.
