How can I delete a patient?

Introduction:
If a patient has any ledger history or appointment history, they will not be able to be deleted from the system for data security and integrity. 

Process description:
Instead of deleting the patient, they will need to be inactivated. 

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Access the patient record. 
2. Click the "Edit" button on the patient overview screen. 
3. Uncheck the box next to the "Active" field.

Tips and best practices:
Inactive patient records may always be found by searching “Include Inactive Patients” on the “Patient / Search Patient” screen.
