If you have a patient that's stuck on the Dashboard, you can use YAPI's Eject feature to remove them  to fix the issue and then check them back in again.  Just follow the steps below.

Note:  If your patient is stuck in the Check-In Area, they may not need to be ejected.  Instead, you may just need to mark them as Ready, which allows you to move them to an operatory.  If this is the case, check out Marking a Patient as Ready for Treatment in the YAPI Dashboard before moving forward with the steps below.
