How to Remove a Patient Account

For aTouchAway / Simplified users, removing a patient from the aTouchAway platform will permanently delete this user and all their associated data. This cannot be undone.

This action will cause the permanent deletion of an aTouchAway / Simplified User account.  For Bring Your Own Device type users, this action will disassociate the user from the organization.

Rather than deleting a user, you may want de-activate users, removing them from workflows and removing them from manager lists by following the instructions found here:  Deactivate Users

Depending upon the implementation of your account, you will use one of two ways to add, remove, and edit users.  You will use one of these pages:

Creation / Token method

To use the Creation / Token page to remove a patient's account from the aTouchAway platform, first go to the Dashboards and under User Management, select Creation / Token.

Find the patient you want to delete.  You can use the "Search Patient" field to search by name, patient number, or health card number to ensure that you have the correct patient.

Once you have identified the correct patient, click the Delete icon to the right of the patient's name.
