Overview
The Chart Flag Message feature enables practice users to set client-specific reminders for clinicians and staff. A flag icon appears next to the client’s name on their chart, which opens a screen to create a new chart flag message. If a message has already been created by another user, it can be viewed by clicking the same icon. This feature also offers options to snooze messages for a chosen duration and set priority levels. Additionally, a centralized location is available for managing chart flag messages for all clients.
Create a Chart Flag Message from Client's Chart Face
To create a chart flag message for a client, follow these steps:
- Navigate to client's chart.
- Click the flag icon next to the client’s name.

This action opens a screen where you can create a chart flag message. If a message already exists, it will be displayed on this screen.

Screen Details:
- Client Information: The client’s name is displayed at the top.
- Yellow Box: Enter the chart flag message here.

After creating the chart flag message, click Save.
A success message will confirm the action, and the flag icon will turn red to indicate that a flag message is associated with the client.
Automatically Open High-Priority Chart Flag Messages
When a chart flag message is marked as high priority, it will automatically pop up whenever users access the client’s chart. This ensures quick follow-up actions can be taken. Refer to the following screenshot for an example of how it appears:
Ability to Snooze the Chart Flag Message
