Ken,
I regularly wait to inactivate patients that have died or that we have chosen to discharge from care. In the case of death, I want to give time for all the records to come in and be handled. In the case of discharge, we give the patient 30 days to receive emergency care and medication refills so they have time to find a new provider. In both these case, I use the "set a reminder" function. This way, I don't have to remember and the chart pops up in my inbox a month from now and tells me to inactivate it. Works quite well I think.
