Alerts help make sure overdue medication or tasks don’t go unnoticed. When a medication becomes overdue, the system shows an alert as a reminder. This feature improves safety and ensures timely administration of medication. The alert tolerance is set in your local configuration, but you can override it at order level for time-sensitive medications.
