Having alert on patient's chart can help staff and physicians know more about a patient's restrictions on medication, discharge, updating insurance next visit. By putting alerts when opening the charts, it helps from having to look back at past visits for urgent details. For example, if a patient was counseled on seeing a specialist for an issue regarding a medication that our provider can no longer provide, when the patient returns and is seen by a different provider, a message will pop up as a precaution in case they are returning for the same issue.
We need to be able to put alerts in for all staff so when they access charts the alert will pop up with information to all staff as reminders for better communication and not have to hunt for the communication, in the chart communication ( example pt. was unable to make radiology appointment)
