Patient Search Information
Note: Running a search using Enhanced Search List or excluding Zero Balance Accounts is slightly
slower than the non-Enhanced Search List and including all accounts. The reason for this is
than the Enhanced Search is more complicated and performs additional sub-queries that are
not otherwise necessary.
Enhanced Search List

The Patient/Account Search will retrieve the oldest Visit Date with an open balance, the Patient/Account Balance, the Division from the oldest Visit with an open balance, and display Patients/Accounts which have visits in Collection in red.

Include Zero Balance Accounts by Default
