We would like to know if a person is deceased. It would eliminate embarrassing moments.

Thank you for the recommendation, we are always looking for ways to improve the product. we will consider this for a potential future release.
Change deceased patients to archived unless a family member (spouse, child) still has insurance under them. In that case, we add a + to their name ie John Doe + which everyone in our office is trained to know signifies they have passed away. If + behind the name, make them inactive so recare reminders do not get sent out. Doing it this way will help some of your active patient reports be more accurate also.
This would be so helpful. We've been dealing with a lot lately, unfortunately.
this would be a nice feature. We are currently making their name all capitalized so it draws attention to us - in preferred name we put DOD and the date - this person of course is not listed as HOH so it doesn't appear on statements
If the are deceased I arcive the. Only patients who are deceased should be arcived.
yes: this would be a v. helpful enhancement - also, when the patient's status is set to "DECEASED", the software can automatically clear all of the patient's Continuing Care types, insurance info, etc. A notation like "DECEASED" can also automatically appear someplace like "Preferred Name" field so that it prominently displays in all modules.
PLEASE!!! This would be very helpful. I have had several embarrassing moments like this as well.
