Stars

Stars are a graphical representation of a short note that is added by a user. This is done on the Day Sheet within the EMR section of Accuro. A note is a repetitive action that is accompanied by a colored star. These starts can be created, edited or deleted by a Provider. Items that a Provider has assigned a star to are displayed in the Stars section of Accuro.

The star represents an action has to be completed by the Provider and/or the patient e.g. a message to recall the patient or even just a simple reminder.

Stars are similar to tasks in that they are assigned to a specific patient, but unlike a task, stars are not attached to a patient's chart.

Stars remain in the Home section of the EMR until they are either completed or the star is changed to None (in which case the star is no longer displayed). When a Day Sheet is updated for a new day, outstanding stars are still displayed in the Stars section of Accuro.

A Provider can assign up to 11 brief messages or tasks to different colored stars (as shown below):
