What is the effect of clicking the check box in a BestPractice Advisory?

Clicking the check box in a BestPractice Advisory serves the purpose of indicating that the clinician has acknowledged or reviewed the advisory's suggestion and has chosen to clear the suggestion. This action allows the clinician to proceed without adhering to the recommendation provided in the advisory. The BestPractice Advisory is designed to enhance clinical decision-making; therefore, when a clinician decides to check the box, they are signifying that they are aware of the advisory but have made a decision to proceed differently.

In a clinical setting, this functionality is important as it maintains a record of the clinician's acknowledgment and decision-making process, potentially impacting care delivery and ensuring that there is a documented rationale for moving forward without the suggested action.
