Findings details

VA.gov Experience Standard - issue: User encounters content that does not meet best practices. VA.gov Experience Standard - category: Comprehension Launch-blocking: No Design System review: No Collab Cycle Reviewer: @rferguson13 (Content)

Description

There are several prescription statuses and terms, such as "Active," "Active: On Hold," and "Expired." However, there are some other statuses that are unclear, such as "Parked." and "Discontinued." How is Parked different from Active? Or Expired from Discontinued? There should be an additional info component or something that explains what the different terms mean.

Recommended action

Define the different status terms somewhere on the page.
