Inactive, Deceased, or Deleted Patients

See also: Adding, Editing, and Deleting Patients

In Clinical, patients are considered deleted when they are flagged as either:

o      Inactive,

o      Deceased, or

o      Permanently Deleted.

 

Patients can be deleted from Clinical by:

o      Selecting Patient > Open from the Clinical main screen or pressing F2 to open the Select Patient from List window, highlighting the patient in question, and pressing Delete

o      Selecting Patient > List from the Clinical main screen, or pressing F10 to open the Patient Database, highlighting the patient in question and pressing Delete

o      Merging patient records, at which time one record is discarded (and deleted) after its data has been merged with that of another

o      Deleting the patient from within Pracsoft; as both MedicalDirector Clinical and Pracsoft share the same patient database, changes made to a patient record in one application are reflected in the other
