What does a pencil icon in the "R" column signify in the Pharmacist Queue?

The pencil icon in the "R" column signifies that the Verify Orders Activity is locked. This visual cue indicates that the pharmacist cannot make changes or updates to the orders currently in the queue due to the locked status. This locking mechanism is crucial in ensuring that the integrity of the order verification process is maintained, preventing unauthorized alterations during a critical stage in medication management.

In the context of a busy pharmacy workflow, understanding such icons can help pharmacists efficiently navigate queues, prioritize tasks, and determine when it is appropriate to engage with specific orders. This ensures that patient care within the pharmacy remains both safe and effective while complying with necessary protocols and procedures.
