What does the blue lock next to a document mean? – FAQ

By now you have probably encountered a blue lock in a document inside of patient chart. When the blue lock appears in a document you will be unable to add problems, medications, allergies, directives or orders to that chart.



A blue lock in a document means there are clinical lists changes waiting to be signed. Clinical lists are structure sets of data with clinical significance such as the problem list, medication list, allergy list and directive list. By design, if a clinical list change has been made but not signed you will be unable to make any further changes to all clinical lists through another update.

So how can we avoid getting these locks?  By signing clinical list changes when responsible for them and taking care of the documents on our desktop constantly.
