Why use a Custom Status

A custom status gives you the ability to control how a medication displays when the medication is assigned the status.  You might use a custom status to color-code medication statuses, such as a PCP/External Medication or a Discharge Medication.  You might also use a custom status to prompt the user to supply a prescriber name, such as for a PCP/External Medication.
