Reactivating archived patients

You can reactivate patients you have archived.

Important: Although you can reactivate archived patients, you should consider archiving a permanent action, since archiving significantly changes a patient’s data, and you cannot easily restore some of that data later. We recommend that you only archive patients if you are fairly certain that they will not return to active status (for example, if they are deceased).

To reactivate an archived patient

1.   In Quick Search or Advanced Search, click the Set Search Parameters icon, and then click Search in Archived Patients.

A list of patients appears.

2.   Do one of the following:

·        Select the patient you want to reactivate from the list.

·        Type the first few letters of the archived patient's name in the Quick Search text box.

The archived patient appears in the Patient Banner and the Patients window.

3.   To reactivate the patient, click the Reactivate toolbar button.

The patient is reactivated.
