What color signifies an abnormal value in an accordion report?

In the context of an accordion report within the Epic Inpatient Module, the color red is specifically used to signify an abnormal value. This color-coding system is designed to quickly alert healthcare professionals to critical information that requires immediate attention. The presence of red indicates that the data point deviates from the normal range, prompting clinicians to assess the situation more closely.

Understanding the rationale behind these color assignments is crucial for efficiently interpreting patient data and responding promptly to potential health issues. The use of red for abnormalities helps ensure that important clinical information stands out, promoting improved patient safety and care outcomes.
