Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

​
Can I hide inactive patients from the search results?

Inactive patients will continue to appear in search results. We recommend using the Patient Tag feature to apply an “Inactive” tag to inactive patient charts. You will be able to see patient tags in search results and use patient tags to distinguish active patients from inactive patients.
