Creating: FYI
To create a For Your Information (FYI) flag in Epic, you can do the following:

Click on Patient Options dropdown
Click FYI
Click New Flag
Select the Flag Type
- Enter supporting documentation in the text field
Click Accept
FYI will appear in on the appointment desk on the right corner
FYI flags are brief notes that document patient-specific information that is important to know but not clinically relevant. They can be seen by all types of users, including physicians, nurses, registrars, schedulers, and billers. When a patient FYI is created, it will appear in the patient's banner bar.
Some examples of FYI flags include:
- Identity Theft FYI Flag: Requested by patients who have been victims of identity theft or feel at risk of being a victim
- Patient Admitted Under Wrong MRN FYI Flag: Alerts users when a patient is admitted under an incorrect MRN
- Please only collect copayment only.
