When working on provider tables and we have duplicates, we need a way to filter out all the disabled providers so we don't have to click on each one to see which is the correct one. we used to put zz before their name, but this was transferring the zz to all lab reports in past visits so we had to stop doing that. we have many providers due to the difficulty of spelling their names, that have up to 5 or 6 entries and we can't delete as don't' know which prior visits they are associated with.
Yes, there needs to be an additional filter at the top. The list should display active providers. The filter should 'Include Inactive'.
We don't delete, but on the duplicates we do put an inactive date on so they don't appear in the search options for registration.
