When data is entered or sent by your pharmacy for the first time, the order shows with either a green or a red flag. These flags mean the order needs a review and approval before it can be used. If your system isn’t integrated with your pharmacy, you won’t see red flags, and instead only see green flags.
What does a red flag mean?
Orders with a red flag are missing key data. The application guides you on what caused the red flag so you can fix it.
You need to add the missing details before the order can be approved. Along with filling in the gaps, review the data sent by the pharmacy and make any changes that are needed before saving.

Click Residents/Orders.

Click Everything and review what data is missing.
Add the missing details in the required fields.
