Maintaining Patient Lists Once you have created and filtered your Patient List, you may find it necessary to add single patients, copy patients from other lists, remove single patients, and delete lists. At this point, you can only add / remove patients to Custom Patient Lists. Since all other lists are system-maintained, patients will be added to and removed from these list types automatically.

To delete a Patient List, open the Modify Patient Lists window by selecting List Maintenance from the Patient Lists menu. The Patient List you want to delete must be in the Available Lists column. If it is not, select it from the Active List column and click the left arrow to send it Available Lists. Right-click on the Patient List that you want to delete under Available Lists and choose Delete Patient List. A warning will appear, prompting you to confirm that you want to delete the list. Once you click Yes, the list will be permanently deleted from the eKiDs system. Patient Lists
