How to Make a Patient Inactive
Why Use This Function:
Marking a Patient as Inactive on a file means they are no longer linked to that file. This could be due to reasons such as death, switching to independent medical aid, or a change in marital status (e.g., divorce). Setting this status helps ensure the Patient isn’t billed incorrectly and no longer has access to information they’re not authorised to receive.
