Hello,
Can someone explain the difference between the active and passive alerts in 4.1?  Much appreciated.

Hi,
The passive alert is what populates the Clinical Reminder widget at the top right of the patient summary screen. The active alert is not yet functional, but will throw out a popup/module whenever the patient’s file is opened. Updated the manual to clarify this:
