Most of the time it is not necessary to remove a patient visit from a patient list, since visits are automatically removed from patient lists, based on the list’s time-based criteria for the removal of visits. In the case of a patient visit that you manually added to a patient list, the visit is automatically removed based on the removal criteria above, or after the number of days specified by a setting in your user profile (whichever results in the visit staying on the list the longest amount of time). Or if the list’s removal criteria specifies that patients should be removed immediately upon discharge, then they are removed as soon as they are discharged, regardless of whether or not they were manually added. In addition to the automatic removals described above, you also have the option to at any time manually remove one or more patient visits from a patient list, in order to keep a short, usable list of active patients. You can do this, as long as the list’s definition allows manual removals. Keep in mind that removing a patient from a patient list does not delete the patient from the organization’s census list, and you can always re-add that patient to the same or another patient list at a later time. There are some special considerations to keep in mind when removing patients from an Assignment type of list (see Types of Patient Lists for an explanation of the different types of lists):
  • When removing a patient from an Assignment list (whether you are working from the master assignment list, the Unassigned sublist, or a named sublist), the patient is removed from both the master assignment list and the sublist to which the patient is currently assigned.
You cannot remove patients from a View type list on Android.
