Drug interactions MUST alert, not silently pass Abnormal lab values MUST be visually flagged Critical vitals MUST trigger escalation workflows No clinical data modification without audit trail Clinical encounters should flow vertically on a single page — no tab switching: Red flags in any template must trigger a visible, non-dismissable alert — NOT a toast notification.
