Patient Delete Wizard

There are two ways in which to delete patient records from Bluechip:

o      Individually, via the patient's record, and

o      In bulk, via the Patient Delete Wizard, as explained following.

It is important to note that patients with historical data recorded in Bluechip cannot be deleted via either method. However, they can be flagged as inactive.
