If you are still seeing the Pregnancy Outcome Form

if it is green and marked as DONE - delete it from IDEAS PRISM Portal

If it’s still red and unsubmitted, you can remove it by clearing the Estimated Delivery date and clinical pregnancy date in IDEAS

Which should then only display the Early Outcome as the last form.


i have removed the dates in IDEAS but the ERROR still remains on either the Early Outcome or Pregnancy Outcome

Accidental submission of Pregnancy Outcome form after non clinical early outcome

  • If your patient was not clinically pregnant, but you incorrectly submitted a pregnancy outcome form in error you will get this error.

I can see the submitted Pregnancy Outcome form in IDEA PRISM

  • If you can see the outcome form in IDEAS PRISM Portal with an either green or blue border

  • - Delete the Pregnancy Outcome Form in IDEAS PRISM

  • Remove the Estimated Delivery Date & Clinical Pregnancy date in IDEAS

I can’t see the Pregnancy Outcome form in IDEA PRISM

You have probably submitted the form by accident, and then deleted the clinical and delivery dates in IDEAS , without deleting the PRISM form first .

  • Add a clinical pregnancy date to the plan

  • click save

  • go back to IDEAS PRISM using the link in the picklist

  • delete the pregnancy outcome form - it will go red

  • go back to IDEAS and remove the clinical pregnancy date again

  • click save

  • the error should now be removed from HFEA PRISM
