Patient Flags
These flags are a clinical decision support to highlight important aspects of a patient's treatment
The flags use the traffic light analogy as follows:
Green – information for an upcoming e.g., Upcoming appointment, Due for Viral Load
Orange – warning, prepare to take action e.g., Missed appointment
Red – take action now e.g., Lost, Lost to Followup, Overdue for Viral Load
The patient flags are:
Due for 1st DNA PCR (green)
Due for 1st Viral Load (green)
Due for 2nd DNA PCR (green)
Due for Rapid Test (green)
Due for Routine Viral Load (green)
Lost(red)
Lost to Followup (red)
Missed appointment (orange)
Overdue for 1st DNA PCR (red)
Overdue for First Viral Load (red)
Overdue for Rapid Test (red)
Overdue for Routine Viral Load (red)
Overdue for 2nd DNA PCR (red)
Transferred Out Patient (orange)
Un-suppressed Viral Load (red)
Upcoming appointment (green)
