Patient record flags alert you to important information about patients—such as behavorial problems.

Each session, Care Management displays patients' patient record flags once per perspective. For example, if Care Management displayed patient record flags for CMPatient, Five when you clicked his name in a Query Tool report, it wouldn't display his patient record flags again when you clicked his name a second time (provided you hadn't closed and reopened Care Management in the interim). However, if for the first time in the same session you clicked CMPatient, Five's name on the Clinician Dashboard, Care Management would again display his patient record flags.
