Deceased Patients

When a patient dies, mark them as deceased in their patient record.

Either:
- Select Patient > Open from the Clinical main screen, or press F2 to open the Select Patient from List window, highlight the patient in question and press Delete or
- Select Patient > List from the Clinical main screen, or press F10 to open the Patient Database, highlight the patient in question and press Delete.
In the Delete Patient window, click Mark as Deceased.
In the Deceased Patient window, check that you have the correct patient and in the Date of Death field, enter when the patient died.
Click OK to confirm.

The patient record is removed from the list.
