When you're working in a production environment (actual patients and
users), Epic recommends deactivating values instead of deleting values.

that value. Click
Deactivate. (The Active column for that value is now set to No.) If you
would like to reactivate it, with the value selected, click Activate.
2. Click Save.
• If you see a prompt that tells you that you cannot deactivate the value,
it means this particular list is not set up to allow deactivation at this time.
