Changing lapsed patients status to inactive (in bulk)
The Search and Change feature enables you to select all patients who have not attended appointments at the practice for a specified period of time.
Note: This process will only change the patients status (to Inactive), add an asterisk to their name and add an Inactive reason code. It does not delete or otherwise change records in your EXACT database. |
Important: Before proceeding, it is important that you ensure that all other users are logged out of EXACT. |
EXACT 13.837 and above Search and Changes are reversible but if you are on a version lower than this then you must have a full backup of the EXACT data completed before proceeding. If you are at all uncertain about using this utility, please contact the Support Team. |
