You can add the alert to existing flags or when you create a new flag.
- Select the Alert Flag checkbox.
- Select Save (if adding to an existing flag type) or Create (if adding to a new flag type).
When do patient flag alerts appear?
When you acknowledge the alert by selecting Okay in the Flag Alert window, the alert appears only once per login session and then does not appear again; otherwise, the alert continues to occur and each occurrence is logged in the Audit Log.
Patient flag alerts appear when you:
- Schedule an appointment after you enter and select the patient
- Open a patient's chart
- Select an appointment with an appointment flag alert
