Indicator would be great

agreed.

In the ER where I work, we highlight the cells for every hour in yellow for the IVF line across the flow sheet and techs enter the rate in each cell hourly. This helps to verify that pumps are on and are running at the correct rate. When we want to indicate a fluid rate change, we use the blue colored cell highlight to indicate that a fluid rate has been changed per doctor's orders or for future fluid rate changes. For example, one of the doctors here likes to place a patient on a higher rate of IVF for 8 hours and will then decrease the rate. We will highlight the cell with the blue highlight option to indicate that 1.) it is intentional and 2.) as an additional way to help prevent oversight by the busy eyes of an ER tech. It tends to work pretty well for us. Just a thought that may be helpful to you too.
