In my experience I've seen many definitions of "active patient." The most common are those patients seen at least once in the past three years.
It's also been my experience that people abuse any type of "active/inactive" setting in an EMR. Or, at least, don't use as was intended.
This is one of those things where I just provide an answer that fits the question as best as possible. And am prepared for that answer to be totally different for the next client.
